54Psalms

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Song for the Distressed. Psalm 54(v53)
A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is in hiding among us."  
1 Save me, O God, by thy name,
and vindicate me by thy might.

 
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

 
3 For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life;
they do not set God before them. Selah

 
4 Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.

 
5 He will requite my enemies with evil;
in thy faithfulness put an end to them.

 
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee;
I will give thanks to thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

 
7 For thou hast delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
