54 ‎[1] **For the chief musician on stringed instruments, a contemplation by David. **
‎[2] It was composed** when the Zifites**** came**** and said to Saul: David is hiding among us, **whereupon Saul sent his men to capture him. Warned in advance, however, David managed to escape, a turn of events for which he offers his thanks here.
‎[3] **God, by Your name save me, and vindicate me by Your might. **
‎[4] **God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth. **
‎[5] **For strangers, **people who do not even know me and should have no reason to wish me ill,** have risen against me, and violent foes have sought my life. **They are acting unjustly toward me, demonstrating that **they have not set God before them, Selah. **
‎[6] **Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is counted among those who support** **me. **
‎[7] **He will repay evil to my foes. **Turning to God, David prays: **Destroy them by Your truth. **
‎[8] **I will **then **bring a freewill sacrifice to You **for Your salvation;** I will give thanks to Your name, Lord, for it is good. **
‎[9] **For He delivered me from all trouble, and my eyes have gazed upon **the downfall of **my enemies. **
