Psalms 54

   |   

The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with (a)stringed instruments. A Maskil[a] of David, (b)when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?"

1 O God, save me by your (c)name,
    and vindicate me by your might.
2 O God, (d)hear my prayer;
    give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 (e)For (f)strangers[b] have risen against me;
    ruthless men (g)seek my life;
    they do not set God before themselves. Selah

4 Behold, (h)God is my helper;
    the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5 He will return the evil to my enemies;
    in your (i)faithfulness (j)put an end to them.

6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
    I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, (k)for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble,
    and my eye has (l)looked in triumph on my enemies.
