Psalm 5423
For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written
song by David. It was written when the Ziphites came and informed Saul: “David
is hiding with us.”24
54:1 O God, deliver me by your
name!1
Vindicate me2
by your power!
54:2 O God, listen to my prayer!
Pay attention to what I say!3
54:3 For foreigners4
attack me,5
ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life.6
(Selah)
54:4 Look, God is my deliverer!7
The sovereign master is among those who support me.8
54:5 May those who wait to ambush me9
be repaid for their evil!10
As a demonstration of your faithfulness,11
destroy them!
54:6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice12
to you!
I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good!
54:7 Surely13
he rescues me from all trouble,14
and I triumph over my enemies.15
