1 1 1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[a] of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?" 1 +054:1-7 is numbered 54:3-9 in Hebrew texts.+1
1 Save me, O God, by your name; 1 vindicate me by your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; 2 listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; 3 ruthless people seek my life— 3 people without regard for God.[b]
4 Surely God is my help; 4 the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; 5 in your faithfulness destroy them.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; 6 I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles, 7 and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
