Psalms 54
David, complaining of the Ziphims, prayeth for salvation.
Psalms 54:1 {To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us?} O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me? Psalms 54:2 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth; Psalms 54:3 For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. [Selah.]
Upon his confidence in God's help he promiseth sacrifice.
Psalms 54:4 Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life; Psalms 54:5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them! Psalms 54:6 With a freewill-offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good; Psalms 54:7 For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me,—And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.
