BSB PSA Chapter 54

Save Me by Your Name

(1 Samuel 23:7–29)

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil[fn] 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!

2 

Hear my prayer, O God;

listen to the words of my mouth.

3 

For strangers rise up against me,

and ruthless men seek my life —

men with no regard for God. Selah

4 

Surely God is my helper

the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 

He will reward my enemies with evil.

In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 

Freely I will sacrifice to You;

I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 

For He has delivered me from every trouble,

and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
