54:1 [To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us"] O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. 54:2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. 54:3 For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. 54:5 He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. 54:6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. 54:7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
