The Psalm
Psalms. Chapter 54. For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself amongst us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might. Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah. Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul. He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth. With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good. For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

A contemplation by David when the Ziphites came and said to Saul
Isnt David hiding himself amongst us
Save me, God, by your name
Vindicate me in your might
Hear my prayer, God
Listen to the words of my mouth
For strangers have risen up against me
Violent men have sought after my soul
They havent set God before them
Selah
Behold, God is my helper
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul
He will repay the evil to my enemies
Destroy them in your truth
With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you
I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good
For he has delivered me out of all trouble
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies
