Psalm 54

Prayer for Deliverance

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us? ” ^a

¹God, save me by your name,

and vindicate me by your might! ^b

²God, hear my prayer;

listen to the words from my mouth. ^c

³For strangers rise up against me,

and violent men intend to kill me.

They do not let God guide them. ^d,^e Selah

⁴God is my helper;

the Lord is the sustainer of my life. ^f,^g

⁵He will repay my adversaries for their evil.

Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them. ^h

⁶I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you. ⁱ

I will praise your name, Lord,

because it is good. ^j

⁷For he has rescued me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked down on my enemies. ^k
