Psalms 54 GNV
Summary: Headed with the occasion "when the Ziphites went and told Saul, 'Is not David hiding among us?'" (1 Samuel 23 and 26), Psalm 54 is a short, urgent plea from a man betrayed by fellow Israelites who tipped off Saul to his hiding place. The psalmist appeals directly to God's name and might for vindication against these "strangers" and "ruthless men" who do not set God before themselves (v. 1, 3). It closes with a vow to offer a freewill sacrifice and a confident anticipation of looking in triumph on his enemies (v. 6-7).
1To 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.
2O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. Selah.
4Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.
5He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!
6Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.
7For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
