Psalm 54 (Tate & Brady)

1,2 Lord, save me, for thy glorious Name,

and in thy strength appear,

To judge my cause, accept my pray'r,

and to my words give ear.

3 Mere strangers, whom I never wronged,

to ruin me designed;

And cruel men, that fear no God,

against my soul combined.

4,5 But God takes part with all my friends,

and he's the surest guard;

The God of truth shall give my foes

their falsehood's just reward:

6 While I my grateful off'rings bring,

and sacrifice with joy;

And in his praise my time to come

delightfully employ.

7 From dreadful danger and distress

the Lord hath set me free;

Through him shall I of all my foes

the just destruction see.
