Psalms 54:2
1 Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah
4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
