Chapter summary (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, 1880)

1 David, complaining of the Ziphims, prays for salvation. 4 Upon his confidence in God's help he promises sacrifice.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

54Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.ab

2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.c

6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
