Psalms 54 - New International Version, 1984
Psalm 54
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”
Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.

Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
listen to the words of my mouth.
Strangers are attacking me;
ruthless men seek my life—
men without regard for God. Selah

Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, O Lord,
for it is good.
I will praise your name, O Lord,
for it is good.
For he has delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
