Psalm 54

✎Economics

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil 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.

     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.
