• Psalm 54
• Deus, in nomine

¹ Save me, O God, by your Name; *

in your might, defend my cause.

² Hear my prayer, O God; *

give ear to the words of my mouth.

³ For the arrogant have risen up against me,

and the ruthless have sought my life, *

those who have no regard for God.

⁴ Behold, God is my helper; *

it is the Lord who sustains my life.

⁵ Render evil to those who spy on me; *

in your faithfulness, destroy them.

⁶ I will offer you a freewill sacrifice *

and praise your Name, O LORD, for it is good.

⁷ For you have rescued me from every trouble, *

and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes.
