Psalms 54

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, ‘David is in hiding among us’. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.

2 Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend to the words of my mouth.

3 For proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not set God before them. (Selah)

4 But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.

5 Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.

6 Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;

7 for from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.
