Psalm 54 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 54.

Meditate on verse 4.

Behold, God is my helper;

the LORD is the sustainer of my soul.

Psalms 52-55 are introduced as Maskils of David. They are psalms to be contemplated with lessons to be learned.

1 Samuel 26 gives the historical context for Psalm 54. David was hiding in the wilderness of Ziph from an angry King Saul who was pursuing him with 3,000 men. The Ziphites told Saul David was hiding in their midst. Read 1 Samuel 26 to learn what God wants to teach you about trusting Him in impossible situations. You will discover verses to pray in that chapter; for example, “May the LORD deliver me from all distress” (1 Samuel 26:24).

Now, pray Psalm 54 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7). Hear the LORD teaching you as you talk to Him.

“Save _______ and me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate us by Your power.

Hear our prayer, O God; give ear to the words of our mouths.

 For strangers have risen against us, and violent men have sought our lives;

they have not set You before them. Behold, God, You are our helper;

 LORD, You are the sustainer of our souls. Recompense the evil to our foes;

destroy them in Your faithfulness. Willingly we will sacrifice to You;

we will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good. 

LORD, deliver us from all trouble; let our eyes look

 with satisfaction upon our enemies.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
