Comforted

Psalm 54


For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Amaskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?" [a]
    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 Strangers are attacking me;
       ruthless men seek my life—
       men without regard for God.
       Selah

    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, O LORD,
       for it is good.

    7 For he has delivered me from all my troubles,
       and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.


Psalm 55:16-18 (New American Standard Bible)


      16As for me, I shall call upon God,
         And the LORD will save me.
      17Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur,
         And He will hear my voice.
      18He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,
         For they are many who strive with me.
