Psalms 54

1For the leader; with instrumental music. A maskil of David,

2when the Ziphites came and told Saul, “Know, David is in hiding among us.”

3O God, deliver me by Your name;by Your power vindicate me.

4O God, hear my prayer;give ear to the words of my mouth.

5For strangers have risen against me,and those who are ruthless seek my life;they are unmindful of God. Selah.

6See, God is my helper;my Sovereign is my support.

7[God] will repay the evil of my watchful foes;by Your faithfulness, destroy them!

8Then I will offer You a freewill sacrifice;I will praise Your name, ETERNAL One, for it is good,

9for it has saved me from my foes,and let me gaze triumphant upon my enemies.
