Psalm 54

A Prayer for Protection from Enemies

54¹ O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. ² O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. ³ For strangers[1] have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah

⁴ Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. ⁵ He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. ⁶ With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. ⁷ For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
