Psalm 54 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the music director; on stringed instruments. A [fn]Maskil of David, [fn]when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is David not keeping himself hidden among us?”

Save^H3467 me, God^H430, by Your name^H8034,

And [fn]vindicate^H1777 me by Your power^H1369.

Psa 54:2

Hear^H8085 my prayer^H8605, God^H430;

Listen^H238 to the words^H561 of my mouth^H6310.

Psa 54:3

For strangers^H2114 have risen^H6965 against^H5921 me

And violent^H6184 men^H6184 have sought^H1245 my [fn]life^H5315;

They have not set^H7760 God^H430 before^H5048 them. Selah^H5542

Psa 54:4

Behold^H2009, God^H430 is my helper^H5826;

The Lord^H136 is [fn]the sustainer^H5564 of my soul^H5315.

Psa 54:5

[fn]He will pay^H7725 back^H7725 the evil^H7451 to my enemies^H8324;

[fn]Destroy^H6789 them in Your [fn]faithfulness^H571.

Psa 54:6

[fn]Willingly^H5071 I will sacrifice^H2076 to You;

I will praise^H3034 Your name^H8034, LORD^H3068, for it is good^H2896.

Psa 54:7

For [fn]He has saved^H5337 me from all^H3605 [fn]trouble^H6869,

And my eye^H5869 has looked^H7200 with satisfaction upon my enemies^H340.
