Psalm 54

Deus, in nomine

1

Save me, O God, by your Name; *

in your might, defend my cause.

2

Hear my prayer, O God; *

give ear to the words of my mouth.

3

For the arrogant have risen up against me,

and the ruthless have sought my life, *

those who have no regard for God.

4

Behold, God is my helper; *

it is the Lord who sustains my life.

5

Render evil to those who spy on me; *

in your faithfulness, destroy them.

6

I will offer you a freewill sacrifice *

and praise your Name, O Lord, for it is good.

7

For you have rescued me from every trouble, *

and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes.
