PSALM 54
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil,
A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
2My prayer hear, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
3For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise;
Oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
4The Lord my God my helper is,
lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with ev'ry one
that doth my soul uphold.
5Unto mine enemies he shall
mischief and ill repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
6I will a sacrifice to thee
give with free willingness;
Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good,
with praise I will confess.
7For he hath me delivered
from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies.

Psalms 54
54
A Prayer for Help
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David when the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “We think David is hiding among our people.”
1God, save me because of who you are.
By your strength show that I am innocent.
2Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to what I say.
3Strangers turn against me.
Cruel men want to kill me.
They do not care about God. Selah
4See, God will help me.
The Lord will spare my life.
5Let my enemies be punished with their own evil.
Destroy them because you are loyal to me.
6I will offer a sacrifice as a special gift to you.
I will thank you, Lord, because you are good.
7You have saved me from all my troubles.
I have seen my enemies defeated.
