Psalm 54

For the choir director: A psalm^[a] of David, regarding the time the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "We know where David is hiding." To be accompanied by stringed instruments.

¹ Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!
    Defend me with your might.
² Listen to my prayer, O God.
    Pay attention to my plea.
³ For strangers are attacking me;
    violent people are trying to kill me.
    They care nothing for God. Interlude

⁴ But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive!
⁵ May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.
Do as you promised and put an end to them.

⁶ I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;
    I will praise your name, O Lord,
    for it is good.
⁷ For you have rescued me from my troubles
    and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
