Psalms 54

Royal Kingdom

Prayer for Vindication
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.
A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “David is in hiding among us.”

1

Save me, O God, by your name, and vindicate me by your might.

2

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

3

For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before them.Selah

4

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

5

He will repay my enemies with evil; 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 you have delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
