Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 54
1To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? OGod, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice. 2OGod, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. 3For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not setGod before them. Selah. 4Behold,God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul. 5He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off. 6I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good. 7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
