Psalms 54 Intro: Praying for salvation, we promise sacrifice. (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?)
1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God is mine helper; the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies; cut them off in thy truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
