Tap a verse to highlight it

1 O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?

2 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;

3 For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. [Selah.]

4 Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life;

5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

6 With a freewill-offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;

7 For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me,—And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.

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).
