Psalm 54

Prayer for Vindication

To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, ‘David is in hiding among us.’

Save me, O God, by your name,
    and vindicate me by your might.
Hear my prayer, O God;
    give ear to the words of my mouth.

For the insolent have risen against me,
    the ruthless seek my life;
    they do not set God before them.Selah

But surely, God is my helper;
    the Lord is the upholder of[a] my life.
He will repay my enemies for their evil.
    In your faithfulness, put an end to them.

With a freewill-offering I will sacrifice to you;
    I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
For he has delivered me from every trouble,
    and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

遭敌迫害求主扶助

54 西弗人来对扫罗说:“大卫岂不是在我们那里藏身吗?”那时,大卫作这训诲诗,交于伶长。用丝弦的乐器。

神啊,求你以你的名救我,凭你的大能为我申冤。
神啊,求你听我的祷告,留心听我口中的言语。
因为外人起来攻击我,强暴人寻索我的命,他们眼中没有神。(细拉)
神是帮助我的,是扶持我命的。
他要报应我仇敌所行的恶,求你凭你的诚实灭绝他们。
我要把甘心祭献给你,耶和华啊,我要称赞你的名,这名本为美好。
他从一切的急难中把我救出来,我的眼睛也看见了我仇敌遭报。
