Psalms54

David, facing betrayal by the Ziphims, cries out to God for salvation and judgment against his oppressors. He affirms his faith that God is his helper and will deliver him from trouble. David vows to offer free-will sacrifices and praise God's good name for His deliverance.

David's Prayer in Distress

1
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.
2
O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.
3
For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. Selah.

Assurance of God's Help

4
Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.
5
He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

Vow of Praise and Thanksgiving

6
Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.
7
For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
