Psalm 54

The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, Is not David hiding among us?

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

3  For strangerst have risen against me;
ruthless men seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah

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

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

Psalm 54

1 Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

4 Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
