Psalms 54 - The Passion Translation(TPT)

Defend MeFor the Pure and Shining OneDavid’s contemplative song of instructionA song of derision when the Ziphites betrayed David to Saul, saying, “David is hiding among us; come and get him!”

1God, deliver me by your mighty name!

Come with your glorious power and save me!

2Listen to my prayer; turn your ears to my cry!

3These violent men have risen up against me;

heartless, ruthless men who care nothing about God

seek to take my life.

Pause in his presence

4But the Lord God has become my divine helper.

He leans into my heart and lays his hands upon me!

5God will see to it that those who sow evil will reap evil.

So Lord, in your great faithfulness, destroy them once and for all!

6Lord, I will offer myself freely, and everything I am I give to you.

I will worship and praise your name, O Lord,

for it is precious to me.

7Through you I’m saved—rescued from every trouble.

I’ve seen with my eyes the defeat of my enemies.

I’ve triumphed over them all!
