Psalms 54

54
For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.”
1God, because of your very nature,#54:1. Literally, “name.” please save me! Vindicate me by your power!
2God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.
3For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. Selah.
4But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!
5The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.
6I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are,#54:6. Literally, “your name.” Lord, for you are good.
7For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.#54:7. “Defeated”: implied. Literally, “with my eye I have looked at those who hate me.”
