Psalm 54In Hebrew texts 54:1-7 is numbered 54:3-9.
1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God. The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
4Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
