The words of Psalm 54
Read in faith:
1 Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.3 Arrogant foes are attacking me;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
people without regard for God.4 Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.(Psalm 54: 1-7)
