Psalm 54

A Prayer for Protection from Enemies

541 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, 'Is David not hiding with us?' Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah

4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. 5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. 6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

Psalm 54

A Prayer for Protection from Enemies

541 Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might. 2 Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul. 5 He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in your truth. 6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good. 7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my 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.
