Psalms 54
54
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
Save Me by Your Name
(1 Samuel 23:7–29)
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil #54:0 Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142. of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”
1Save me, O God, by Your name,
and vindicate me by Your might!
2Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me,
and ruthless men seek my life—
men with no regard for God.
Selah
4Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil.
In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You;
I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eyes have stared down my foes.
