Psalms 54
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David:
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil (note: 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?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?'
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
O God, save me by Thy name, And right me by Thy might.

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
54:2
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul; They have not set God before them. Selah
54:3
For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.
54:4
Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; Destroy Thou them in Thy truth.
54:5
He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
54:6
Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
54:7
For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
