Psalm

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. With [a]stringed instruments. A [b]Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”

54 
Save me, O God, by Your name,

And vindicate me by Your strength.

Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me,

And oppressors have sought after my life;

They have not set God before them. Selah

Behold, God is my helper;

The Lord is with those who [c]uphold my life.

He will repay my enemies for their evil.

[d]Cut them off in Your [e]truth.

I will freely sacrifice to You;

I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

For He has delivered me out of all trouble;

And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
