Psalms 54

¹ For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David,

² when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "David is hiding among us."

³ O God, by your name save me. By your strength defend my cause.

⁴ O God, hear my prayer. Listen to the words of my mouth.

⁵ The arrogant have risen against me; the ruthless seek my life; they do not keep God before them. Selah

⁶ God is present as my helper; the Lord sustains my life.

⁷ Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them.

⁸ Then I will offer you generous sacrifice and praise your gracious name, LORD,

⁹ Because it has rescued me from every trouble, and my eyes look down on my foes.
