Bara du kan hjälpa

David skrev denna psalm vid det tillfälle då Sifs män försökte förråda honom och överlämna honom till Saul.1-3 Gud, du är en mäktig Gud. Fräls mig genom din stora kraft! Befria mig genom din makt!

Lyssna till min bön,

för våldsamma män, som inte bryr sig om dig, anfaller mig, och dessa grymma män försöker ta mitt liv.

Men jag vet att Gud är min hjälpare. Han är en av mina vänner.

Han ser till att allt det onda som mina fiender gör kommer över dem själva. Ja, Herre, gör slut på dessa ogudaktiga män för du håller alltid vad du lovat!

Med glädje kommer jag med mina offer till dig. Jag vill prisa dig, Herre, för du är god.

Gud har befriat mig ur alla mina svårigheter och jag har fått se mina fiender besegrade.

Psalm 54

Prayer for Deliverance

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?” (A)

God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might!(B)
God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words from my mouth.(C)
For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men intend to kill me.
They do not let God guide them.[a](D)Selah

God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.[b](E)
He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.(F)

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.(G)
I will praise your name, Lord,
because it is good.(H)
For he has rescued me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.(I)
