1O God, save me by your 54:1 Ps. 5:11; 52:9name,
and vindicate me by your might.
2O God, 54:2 See Ps. 55:1hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

ruthless men 54:3 [1 Sam. 23:15]seek my life;

4Behold, 54:4 Ps. 118:7God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.

6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, 54:6 Ps. 52:9for it is good.
7For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has 54:7 Ps. 59:10; 92:11; 112:8; 118:7looked in triumph on my enemies.
