54:1 For the worship leader. A contemplative song of David when his friends, the Ziphites, betrayed him to Saul. Accompanied by strings. Liberate me, O God, by the authority of Your name. Vindicate me through Your legendary power.
54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; let the words of my mouth reach Your sympathetic ear.
54:3 The truth is, these strangers are rallying against me; cold-blooded men seek to slay me; they have no respect for You. [pause]
54:4 But see now! God comes to rescue me; the Lord is my valiant supporter.
54:5 He will repay my enemies for the harm they have done; they are doomed! According to Your faithful promises, silence them.
54:6 I will sacrifice to You willingly; I will lift Your name by shouts of thanksgiving, O Eternal One, for Your name is good.
54:7 God has pulled me out from every one of the troubles that encompass me, and I have seen what it means to stand over my enemies in triumph.
