Psalms 54

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
