Psalm 54^[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil^[b] of David. When the Ziphites^(a) had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?"

¹ Save me^(b), O God, by your name;^(c)
vindicate me by your might.^(d)
² Hear my prayer, O God;^(e)
listen to the words of my mouth.

³ Arrogant foes are attacking me;^(f)
ruthless people^(g) are trying to kill me^(h)—
people without regard for God.^[c]⁽ⁱ⁾

⁴ Surely God is my help;^(j)
the Lord is the one who sustains me.^(k)

⁵ Let evil recoil^(l) on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness^(m) destroy them.

⁶ I will sacrifice a freewill offering⁽ⁿ⁾ to you;
I will praise^(o) your name, Lord, for it is good.^(p)
⁷ You have delivered me^(q) from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.^(r)
