Psalms 54

Trusting God in Times of Trouble

¹Save me, God, by your power[#1 S 23.19; 26.1.]

and prove that I am right.

²Listen to my prayer

and hear what I say.

³Cruel strangers have attacked

and want me dead.

Not one of them cares

about you.

⁴You will help me, Lord God,

and keep me from falling;

⁵you will punish my enemies

for their evil deeds.

Be my faithful friend

and destroy them.

⁶I will bring a gift

and offer a sacrifice

to you, Lord .

I will praise your name

because you are good.

⁷You have rescued me

from all my troubles,

and my own eyes have seen

my enemies fall.
