Psalms 54

Psalm 54

Prayer for Deliverance

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”

¹God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might!²

³God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth.⁴

⁵For strangers rise up against me, and violent men intend to kill me. They do not let God guide them.Selah⁶

⁷God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life.⁸

⁹He will repay my adversaries for their evil. Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.¹⁰

¹¹I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you. I will praise your name, Lord, because it is good.¹²

¹³For he has rescued me from every trouble, and my eye has looked down on my enemies.¹⁴
