Psalm 54

Prayer for Deliverance

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”(A)

God, save me by Your name,
and vindicate me by Your might!(B)
God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth.(C)
For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for God.[a](D)Selah

God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.[b](E)
He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them.(F)

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You.(G)
I will praise Your name, Yahweh,
because it is good.(H)
For He has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.(I)
