Tap a verse to highlight it

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.

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

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).
