Psalm 54

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

1o. the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments.[a] A Contemplation[b] of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?” 54 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 up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have 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. Cut them off in Your truth.

6. I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

7. For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
