Salmos 54:1-6

1 ¡Sálvame! Oh Dios, por tu nombre, y hazme justicia con tu poder.

2 Escucha mi oración, oh Dios, presta oído a las palabras de mi boca.

3 Porque extraños se han levantado contra mí, y hombres violentos buscan mi vida; no han puesto a Dios delante de sí. (Selah)

4 He aquí, Dios es el que me ayuda; el Señor es el que sostiene mi alma.

5 El devolverá el mal a mis enemigos; destrúyelos por tu fidelidad.

6 Voluntariamente sacrificaré a ti; alabaré tu nombre, oh SEÑOR, porque es bueno.

Salmos 54:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Of the word "neginoth," See Gill on "Ps 4:1," title; and of "maschil," See Gill on "Ps 32:1," title. The occasion of writing this psalm were the discoveries the Ziphims or Ziphites made to Saul of David being in their neighbourhood; which they did twice, as appears from 1 Samuel 23:14. Which of these gave occasion to the psalm is not certain; it is very likely that it was composed after both had been made. These Ziphims were the inhabitants of a city called Ziph, which was in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:55, near to which was a wilderness, which had its name from the city in which David was when they came to Saul with this news of him.
