Psalm 54 - Modern English Version

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Contemplative Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”

¹ Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your strength.

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

³ For strangers have risen against me, and oppressors seek my life; they do not set God before them.    Selah

⁴ Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who uphold my life.

⁵ He will repay my enemies for their evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

⁶ I will sacrifice a freewill offering 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.
