Psalm 54

The Lord Upholds My Life

1O God, save me by your name,[#Ps. 5:11; 52:9]

and vindicate me by your might.

2O God, hear my prayer;[#Ps. 55:1]

give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For strangers have risen against me;[#Ps. 86:14; #Ps. 18:44; 144:7; Isa. 25:5; #54:3 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Targum (compare Psalm 86:14)]

ruthless men seek my life;

they do not set God before themselves. Selah

4Behold, God is my helper;[#Ps. 118:7]

the Lord is the upholder of my life.

5He will return the evil to my enemies;

in your faithfulness put an end to them.

6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;

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

7For he has delivered me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
