Psalm 54 Common English Bible (CEB)

Psalm 54

For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil^[a] of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding among us?”

54 God! Save me by your name;
defend me by your might!
²God! Hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth!

³The proud have come up against me;
violent people want me dead.
They pay no attention to God. Selah

⁴But look here: God is my helper;
my Lord sustains my life.
⁵He will bring disaster on my opponents.
By your faithfulness, God, destroy them!

⁶I will sacrifice to you freely;
    I will give thanks to your name, Lord,
        because it’s so good,
⁷        and because God has delivered me
        from every distress.
    My eyes have seen my enemies’ defeat.^[b]
