Psalms 54

Psalm 54

Prayer for Vindication

1Save me, O God, by your name,[#2 Chr 20.6; Ps 20.1]

and vindicate me by your might.

2Hear my prayer, O God;[#Ps 5.1; 55.1]

give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For the insolent have risen against me;[#Ps 36.1; 40.14; 86.14]

the ruthless seek my life;

they do not set God before them. Selah

4But surely, God is my helper;[#Ps 41.12; 118.7]

the Lord is the upholder of my life.

5He will repay my enemies for their evil.[#Ps 89.49; 94.23; 143.12]

In your faithfulness, put an end to them.

6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;[#Ps 50.14; 52.9]

I will give thanks to your name, O Lord , for it is good.

7For he has delivered me from every trouble,[#Ps 34.6; 59.10]

and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
