Psalms 54

¹To 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.

Name - By thy own strength. Judge - Plead my cause.

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

Strangers - The Zephites, whom, though Israelites, he calls strangers in regard of their barbarous and perfidious carriage.

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

Thy truth - Whereby thou art engaged to fulfil thy promises and threatenings.
