Summary

Psalm 54 is a short prayer attributed to David, from the time the people of Ziph told Saul where he was hiding. Threatened by ruthless men, he asks God to save him and hear his prayer, and states that God is the one who helps him. It ends with a promise to praise God for the rescue.

Read Psalm 54

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”

1Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life — men with no regard for God. Selah

4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
