Psalms 54

   |   

God Is My Helper

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A (FA)Maskil of David. (FB)When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is not David hiding himself among us?"

1 O God, save me by (C1)Your name,
And render justice to me by (C2)Your might.

2 (C1)O God, hear my prayer;
(C2)Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have (C1)risen against me
And (C2)ruthless men have (C3)sought my (F1)life;
They have (C4)not set God before them. Selah
may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F2)Selah.

4 Behold, (C1)God is my helper;
The Lord is among those who (C2)sustain my soul.

5 He will (C1)return the evil to my foes;
(C2)Destroy them (C3)in Your truth.

6 (C1)With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give (C2)thanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For (F1)He has (C1)delivered me from all (F2)distress,
And my eye has (C2)looked in triumph upon my enemies.
