Psalm 54
New American Standard Bible

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the music director; on stringed instruments. A [a]Maskil of David, [b]when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is David not keeping himself hidden among us?”

54 Save me, God, by (A)Your name,
And [c]vindicate me by (B)Your power.
2 (C)Hear my prayer, God;
(D)Listen to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have (E)risen against me
And (F)violent men have (G)sought my [d]life;
They have (H)not set God before them. Selah

4 Behold, (I)God is my helper;
The Lord is [e]the (J)sustainer of my soul.
5 [f]He will (K)pay back the evil to my enemies;
[g](L)Destroy them (M)in Your [h]faithfulness.

6 [i](N)Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will (O)praise Your name, Lord, for it is good.
7 For [j]He has (P)saved me from all [k]trouble,
And my eye has (Q)looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.

Oración pidiendo socorro divino

Para el director del coro; con instrumentos de cuerda. Masquil[a] de David, cuando los zifeos vinieron y dijeron a Saúl: ¿No está David escondido entre nosotros?[b]

54 ¡Sálvame! Oh Dios, por tu nombre(A),
y hazme justicia[c] con tu poder(B).
2 Escucha mi oración(C), oh Dios,
presta oído a las palabras de mi boca(D).
3 Porque extraños se han levantado contra mí,
y hombres violentos(E) buscan mi vida[d](F);
no han puesto a Dios delante de sí(G). (Selah[e])

4 He aquí, Dios es el que me ayuda(H);
el Señor es el que sostiene[f] mi alma(I).
5 Él devolverá el mal[g] a mis enemigos[h](J);
destrúyelos(K) por tu fidelidad[i](L).

6 Voluntariamente[j] sacrificaré a ti(M);
alabaré[k] tu nombre(N), oh Señor, porque es bueno.
7 Porque Él[l] me ha librado de toda angustia(O),
y mis ojos han visto a mis enemigos derrotados(P).

Psalm 54[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David. When the Ziphites(A) had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”

1 Save me(B), O God, by your name;(C)
    vindicate me by your might.(D)
2 Hear my prayer, O God;(E)
    listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Arrogant foes are attacking me;(F)
    ruthless people(G) are trying to kill me(H)—
    people without regard for God.[c](I)

4 Surely God is my help;(J)
    the Lord is the one who sustains me.(K)

5 Let evil recoil(L) on those who slander me;
    in your faithfulness(M) destroy them.

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering(N) to you;
    I will praise(O) your name, Lord, for it is good.(P)
7 You have delivered me(Q) from all my troubles,
    and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.(R)
