Psalm 54
Vers 1
Save me, O God, by your great name,
and by your power vindicate me.
I am beset by those who hate me;
God, hear my prayer: your help I claim.
Men who do not keep you in sight
attack me, seeking my destruction.
Come to my aid with your protection;
save me from those who plot and fight.
Vers 2
God is my help though foes are strong;
he will not let their sword come near me
but will sustain my life and hear me
and graciously my days prolong.
Let wickedness recoil on all
who wrong me by their constant slander.
O faithful God, be my defender
and let them to their ruin fall.
Vers 3
I praise your name, for it is good;
LORD, you have saved me from my suffering.
To you I bring my freewill offering,
my sacrifice of gratitude.
You are the one who set me free
from all the troubles that distressed me.
I look on those who once oppressed me
and feast my eyes on victory.
