Psalm 54

NRS

MSG

1 Save me, O God, by your name, and vindicate me by your might.
1 God, for your sake, help me! Use your influence to clear me.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
2 Listen, God - I'm desperate. Don't be too busy to hear me.
3 For the insolent have risen against me, the ruthless seek my life; they do not set God before them. (Selah)
3 Outlaws are out to get me, hit men are trying to kill me. Nothing will stop them; God means nothing to them.
4 But surely, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
4 Oh, look! God's right here helping! God's on my side,
5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. In your faithfulness, put an end to them.
5 Evil is looping back on my enemies. Don't let up! Finish them off!
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
6 I'm ready now to worship, so ready. I thank you, God - you're so good.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
7 You got me out of every scrape, and I saw my enemies get it.
