Psalm 54 Holman Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 54
Prayer for Deliverance
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”(A)
1 God, save me by Your name,
and vindicate me by Your might!(B)
2 God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth.(C)
3 For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for God.[a](D)
4 God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.[b](E)
5 He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them.(F)
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You.(G)
I will praise Your name, Yahweh,
because it is good.(H)
7 For He has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.(I)
