Psalm 54:3-5
New Catholic Bible

3 O God, save me by your name;[a]
    vindicate me by your power.
4 Hear my prayer, O God;
    give ear to the words of my mouth.
5 Strangers[b] have risen against me;
    those who are ruthless seek my life,
    and they have no thought of God. Selah

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 54:3 The beleaguered psalmist summons God to give him justice (see Ps 17). Name: see note on Ps 5:12.
  2. Psalm 54:5 Strangers: probably a reference to the people of the Desert of Ziph (see 1 Sam 23:19). They have no thought of God: the same type of sinners as in Ps 53.
