54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth,

54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, and violent men seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah.

54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the LORD is with those who uphold my soul.

54:5 He shall reward evil to my enemies. Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

54:6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good,

54:7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
