Psalm 54

WEEK 17                                             Psalm 54

WEDNESDAY  Reflections

This psalm of David is a simple prayer for help and praise to God for help and deliverance. There have been times when the prayer which starts this Psalm has been on my lips, "Save me, God!" Considering mankind's need for salvation, it is the first prayer we all need to pray. We need to be saved; saved from sin, from evil, from ourselves. I am so glad God answers this prayer when it is prayed from a sincere heart.

Psa 54:1-7
(1)  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? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
(2)  Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
(3)  For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
(4)  Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
(5)  He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
(6)  I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

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