Psalms 54
Theme: A call for God to overcome enemies. God is our helper, even in times of hurt and betrayal.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. +
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. +
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. +
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. +
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. +
