To the choir director: on the stringed instruments. A Maschil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, David is indeed hiding among us!
Psa. 54:1 O God, save me by Your name, / And execute judgment for me by Your might.
Psa. 54:2 O God, hear my prayer; / Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Psa. 54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, / And those who terrorize seek my life; / They do not set God before them. Selah
Psa. 54:4 Behold, God is my Helper; / The Lord is among those who sustain my soul.
Psa. 54:5 He will return the evil to those who lie in wait for me. / Annihilate them in Your faithfulness.
Psa. 54:6 I will offer a freewill offering to You; / I will praise Your name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
Psa. 54:7 For He has delivered me from all distress, / And my eye looks triumphantly upon my enemies.
