54:2 O God, listen to my prayer!
Pay attention to what I say! 1
54:3 For foreigners 2 attack me; 3
ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. 4 (Selah)
54:4 Look, God is my deliverer! 5
The Lord is among those who support me. 6
54:5 May those who wait to ambush me 7 be repaid for their evil! 8
As a demonstration of your faithfulness, 9 destroy them!
54:6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice 10 to you!
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good!
54:7 Surely 11 he rescues me from all trouble, 12
and I triumph over my enemies. 13
