Psalm 54

God Is My Helper

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”

O God, save me by Your name,

And render justice to me by Your might.

O God, hear my prayer;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen against me

And ruthless men have sought my life;

They have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is my helper;

The Lord is among those who sustain my soul.

He will return the evil to my foes;

Destroy them in Your truth.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;

I will give thanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.

For He has delivered me from all distress,

And my eye has looked in triumph upon my enemies.
