Psalm 54

Legacy Standard Bible

God Is My Helper

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

54 O God, save me by ^(A)Your name,
And render justice to me by ^(B)Your might.
²^(C)O God, hear my prayer;
^(D)Give ear to the words of my mouth.
³For strangers have ^(E)risen against me
And ^(F)ruthless men have ^(G)sought my ^[c]life;
They have ^(H)not set God before them. ^[d]Selah.

⁴Behold, ^(I)God is my helper;
The Lord is among those who ^(J)sustain my soul.
⁵He will ^(K)return the evil to my foes;
^(L)Destroy them ^(M)in Your truth.

⁶^(N)With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give ^(O)thanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.
⁷For ^[e]He has ^(P)delivered me from all ^[f]distress,
And my eye has ^(Q)looked in triumph upon my enemies.
