Psalms 54

   |   

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the music director; on stringed instruments. A (FA)Maskil of David, (FB)when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is David not keeping himself hidden among us?"

1 Save me, God, by (C1)Your name,
And (F1)vindicate me by (C2)Your power.

2 (C1)Hear my prayer, God;
(C2)Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have (C1)risen against me
And (C2)violent men have (C3)sought my (F1)life;
They have (C4)not set God before them. Selah

4 Behold, (C1)God is my helper;
The Lord is (F1)the (C2)sustainer of my soul.

5 (F1)He will (C1)pay back the evil to my enemies;
(F2)(C2)Destroy them (C3)in Your (F3)faithfulness.

6 (F1)(C1)Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will (C2)praise Your name, LORD, for it is good.

7 For (F1)He has (C1)saved me from all (F2)trouble,
And my eye has (C2)looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
