Psalm 54 - English Standard Version 2016

The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”

¹ O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might.

² O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

³ For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah

⁴ Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.

⁵ He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.

⁶ With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

⁷ For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
