Tap a verse to highlight it

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah

4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 54 about?
Psalm 54 is a brief prayer for rescue from 'strangers' and 'oppressors' who have risen against the psalmist (v.3), moving quickly from request to confidence that God is his helper (v.4) and a vow to offer sacrifice in thanks (v.6).
What does the psalm say about God as helper?
Verse 4 says 'Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul,' a confidence similar to Hebrews 13:6's 'The Lord is my helper.'
How does the psalm end?
It ends with thanksgiving already looking back on deliverance: 'he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies' (v.7).
