Psalm 54
[For the music leader. Use with stringed instruments. A special psalm that David wrote when the people of Ziph went to Saul and said, "David is hiding here with us."] Trusting God in Times of Trouble ¹ Save me, God, by your power and prove that I am right. ² Listen to my prayer and hear what I say. ³ Cruel strangers have attacked and want me dead. Not one of them cares about you. ⁴ You will help me, Lord God, and keep me from falling; ⁵ you will punish my enemies for their evil deeds. Be my faithful friend and destroy them. ⁶ I will bring a gift and offer a sacrifice to you, Lord I will praise your name because you are good. ⁷ You have rescued me from all of my troubles, and my own eyes have seen my enemies fall.
