Psalms 54
1Save me, O God, by your name;vindicate me by your might. 2Hear my prayer, O God;listen to the words of my mouth. 3Arrogant foes are attacking me;ruthless people are trying to kill me—people without regard for God. 4Surely God is my help;the Lord is the one who sustains me. 5Let evil recoil on those who slander me;in your faithfulness destroy them. 6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good. 7You have delivered me from all my troubles,and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
