David's Cry for Rescue
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A wisdom psalm of David, when the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”
54 1 O my Father, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. 2 O my Father, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen against me, and ruthless men want to kill me — they have no regard for our Father. Selah.
4 Surely my Father is my helper; the Sovereign Father is the upholder of my life. 5 He will turn back the evil on those who lie in wait for me; in your faithfulness, put an end to them. 6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will praise your name, my Father, for it is good. 7 For he has rescued me from every trouble, and I have looked in triumph on my enemies.
