Psalms 54

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

1 Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah.

4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

5 He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
