Psalms

Psalm 54 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.

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

Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life— men without regard for God. Selah

Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.

For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
