Psalm 54

New International Version

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, ‘Is not David hiding among us?’

1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. 

2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. 

3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me – people without regard for God. 

4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. 

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

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good. 

7 You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
