Rise up, Lord! Save me, my God! You strike all my enemies on the cheek; You break the teeth of the wicked.

Turn, Lord! Rescue me; save me because of Your faithful love.

Psalm 7

Prayer for Justice

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.

Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked.

With Your hand, Lord, save me from men, from men of the world whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store; their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.

They cry for help, but there is no one to save them— they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.

Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.

Psalm 31

A Plea for Protection

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

Lord, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced. Save me by Your righteousness.

Listen closely to me; rescue me quickly. Be a rock of refuge for me, a mountain fortress to save me.

Show Your favor to Your servant; save me by Your faithful love.

A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted; He saves those crushed in spirit.

The Lord helps and delivers them; He will deliver them from the wicked and will save them because they take refuge in Him.

Psalm 41

Victory in Spite of Betrayal

Happy is one who cares for the poor; the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.

Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

Prayer for Deliverance

God, save me by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.

He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me.Selah God sends His faithful love and truth.

Deliver me from those who practice sin, and save me from men of bloodshed.

Save with Your right hand, and answer me, so that those You love may be rescued.
