Psalm 54

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Zifim came and told Sha'ul, "David is hiding with us": God, deliver me by your name; in your power, vindicate me.

2 God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth.

3 For foreigners are rising against me, violent men are seeking my life; they give no thought to God. (Selah)

4 But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.

5 May he repay the evil to those who are lying in wait for me. In your faithfulness, destroy them!

6 Then I will generously sacrifice to you; I will praise your name, ADONAI, because it is good,

7 because he rescued me from all trouble, and my eyes look with triumph at my enemies.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, for your sake, help me! Use your influence to clear me.

2 Listen, God - I'm desperate. Don't be too busy to hear me.

3 Outlaws are out to get me, hit men are trying to kill me. Nothing will stop them; God means nothing to them.

4 Oh, look! God's right here helping! God's on my side,

5 Evil is looping back on my enemies. Don't let up! Finish them off!

6 I'm ready now to worship, so ready. I thank you, God - you're so good.

7 You got me out of every scrape, and I saw my enemies get it.
