Psalms 54 YLT
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 the Overseer with stringed instruments. --An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
4Lo, God is a helper to me, The Lord is with those supporting my soul,
5Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
6With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good,
7For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
