If God speaks to you through Psalm 54, record what He said in Doxa and come back to it.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”
Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah
Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
