A Prayer for Deliverance (Ziphites)
1-3, David, complaining of the Ziphims, prays for salvation. 4-7, Upon his confidence in God's help he promises sacrifice.
(54:4) Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who uphold my life. (54:1) Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your strength.
Psalm 54 is a prayer by David in response to betrayal by the Ziphites, calling on God for help against enemies, expressing reliance on Him, and concluding with praise for deliverance.
