Psalms 54:3

FearThe stranger and outcast

1 Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

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.

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