Psalm 54

    For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil^[b] of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”
 ¹ Save me, O God, by your name;
   vindicate me by your might.
² Hear my prayer, O God;
   listen to the words of my mouth.
 ³ Arrogant foes are attacking me;
   ruthless people are trying to kill me—
   people without regard for God.^[c]
 4 Surely God is my help;
   the Lord is the one who sustains me.
 ⁵ Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
   in your faithfulness destroy them.
 ⁶ I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
   I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.
⁷ You have delivered me from all my troubles,
   and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
