Psalm 54
New King James Version
Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries
To the Chief Musician. With [a]stringed instruments. A [b]Contemplation of David (A)when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”
54 Save me, O God, by Your name,
And vindicate me by Your strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me,
And oppressors have sought after my life;
They have not set God before them. Selah
4 Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who [c]uphold my life.
5 He will repay my enemies for their evil.
[d]Cut them off in Your [e]truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice to You;
I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble;
(B)And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

in your (I)faithfulness (J)put an end to them.

La Biblia de las Américas
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).
