1 Psalm 54 God Is My Helper For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A 54:0Possibly Contemplative, Didactic, Skillful Psalm Maskil of David. 54:01 Sam 23:19; 26:1 When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”O God, save me by Your name,And render justice to me by Your might.
2 O God, hear my prayer;Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen against meAnd ruthless men have sought my 54:3Or soul life;They have not set God before them. 54:3Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude Selah.
4 ¶Behold, God is my helper;The Lord is among those who sustain my soul.
5 He will return the evil to my foes;Destroy them in Your truth.
6 ¶With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;I will give thanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.
7 For 54:7His name; or it He has delivered me from all 54:7Or trouble distress,And my eye has lookedin triumphupon my enemies.
