Psalm 54  Legacy Standard Bible

God Is My Helper

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A [a]Maskil of David. [b]When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”

54 O God, save me by (A)Your name,
And render justice to me by (B)Your might.
2 (C)O God, hear my prayer;
(D)Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have (E)risen against me
And (F)ruthless men have (G)sought my [c]life;
They have (H)not set God before them. [d]Selah.

4 Behold, (I)God is my helper;
The Lord is among those who (J)sustain my soul.
5 He will (K)return the evil to my foes;
(L)Destroy them (M)in Your truth.

6 (N)With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give (O)thanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.
7 For [e]He has (P)delivered me from all [f]distress,
And my eye has (Q)looked in triumph upon my enemies.
