(0) Psalm 54 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[1] of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?"
(1) Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
(2) Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
(3) Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God. Selah
(4) Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
(5) Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
(6) I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
(7) For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
