Psalm 54 - Modern English Version (MEV)

Psalm 54

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Contemplative Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”

1 O God, save me by Your name,
and judge me by Your strength.
2 O God, hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers rise up against me,
and formidable adversaries seek my life;
they do not set God before them. Selah

4 God is my helper;
the Lord is with those who support my life.

5 He will repay my enemies for their evil.
In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You;
I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble;
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.
