PSALMS 诗篇054

PSALM¹ 54
1Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate² me by your might.
2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life- men without regard for God. Selah
4Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5Let evil recoil³ on those who slander⁴ me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord , for it is good.
7For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes⁵.
