Psalms 054

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments.
A contemplation by David, when
the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t
David hiding himself among us?”

1 Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.

2 Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my
soul. They haven’t set God before them.
Selah.
