Psalm

54 O God, by your name save me,+

And with your mightiness may you plead my cause.+

 2 O God, hear my prayer;+

Do give ear to the sayings of my mouth.+

 3 For there are strangers that have risen up against me,

And tyrants that do seek my soul.+

They have not set God in front of them.+ Seʹlah.

 4 Look! God is my helper;+

Jehovah* is among those supporting my soul.

 5 He will repay the bad to my foes;+

In your trueness* silence them.+

 6 In willingness I will sacrifice to you.+

I shall laud your name, O Jehovah, for it is good.+

 7 For out of every distress he delivered me,+

And upon my enemies my eye has looked.+
