The Book of Psalms
Psalms 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?”
Save Me by Your Name
1 Save me, O God, by Your name,and vindicate me by Your might!Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.
Hear my prayer, O God;listen to the words of my mouth.
For strangers rise up against me,and ruthless men seek my life —men with no regard for God.Selah
Surely God is my helper;the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
He will reward my enemies with evil.In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
Freely I will sacrifice to You;I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
For He has delivered me from every trouble,and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
