Psalms 54
David asks God to save him by His name and judge him by His strength, as strangers and oppressors have risen up against him. David trusts that God is his helper and will reward his enemies with evil. He vows to freely sacrifice and praise God's name, for He has delivered him from trouble and allowed him to see his enemies punished.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
