Psalms 54:4-7

Saved by God's Name from Betrayal and Violence

The chapter moves from petition for rescue, to exposure of godless enemies, to confession of God as helper, to appeal for faithful judgment, and finally to voluntary praise for deliverance.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
