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.
Unto 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 virtueO God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouthFor strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyesFor behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soulTurn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truthI will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is goodFor you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies
