54:0 God is my helper
54 For the musical director: a song[fn] by David written when some people from Zif went to King Shaul and told him that David was hiding in their area.[ref] To be accompanied by stringed instruments.
54 Use the strength that’s part of your reputation to rescue me, God,
≈and use your power to declare me innocent.
≈Listen to what I’m saying
3 because strangers have acted against me,
≈and pitiless men have tried to eliminate me.
They don’t have any respect for God. (Instrumental break.)
≈My master is the one who supports me.
5 He will repay my enemies with evil.
≈In your faithfulness, destroy them.
6 I’ll sacrifice a freewill offering to you.
I’ll give thanks for your reputation, Yahweh, because it’s good,
7 because he’s rescued me from every trouble.
I’ve seen my enemies being defeated.
54:0 In Hebrew, ‘maskil’ is perhaps the name of this class of song.
1Sa 23:19-20:
19 Some men from Zif went to Sha’ul at Gibeah, saying, “We’re pretty sure that David’s hiding himself among us in the strongholds in Horesh, on the Hakilah hill south of Yeshimon.[ref] 20 So now, your majesty, come over whenever you want, and we’ll make sure he’s handed over to you.”
