Psalms 54

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

¹O God, by your name save me,

and by your power vindicate me.

²O God, hear my prayer;

heed the words of my mouth.

³For foreigners have risen against me,

and ruthless men seek my life.

They have not set God before them. Selah

⁴See, God is my helper;

The Lord is with those who sustain my life.

⁵He will repay my enemies for their evil;[#According to the reading tradition (Qere); #Hebrew “the”]

in your faithfulness destroy them.

⁶I will freely sacrifice to you;

I will give thanks to your name,

O Yahweh, because it is good.

⁷Because he has delivered me from all trouble,

and my eye has looked with satisfaction on my enemies.
