Psalms 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.

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries
For the music director, with stringed instruments.
A maskil of David,
when the Ziphites went and said to Saul,
“Is not David hiding himself among us?”#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1O God, by your name save me,
and by your power vindicate me.
2O God, hear my prayer;
heed the words of my mouth.
3For foreigners have risen against me,
and ruthless men seek my life.
They have not set God before them. Selah
4See, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who sustain my life.#Or “The Lord is the sustainer of my life.”
5He will repay#According to the reading tradition (Qere) my enemies for their#Hebrew “the” evil;
in your faithfulness destroy them.
6I will freely sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name,
O Yahweh, because it is good.
7Because he has delivered me from all trouble,
and my eye has looked with satisfaction on my enemies.
