Psalms 54
David asks God to save and judge him by His name and power, as strangers and strong men have risen up against him, not acknowledging God. David trusts in God as his helper and protector of his soul. He asks God to turn back the evils upon his adversaries and ruin them by His truth. David promises to freely sacrifice to God and confess His name, thanking Him for rescuing him from tribulation.
1Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, "Has not David been hidden with us?". Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue2O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth3For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes4For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul5Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth6I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good7For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies
