54 God, use your power and save me.
    Use your great power to set me free.
² God, listen to my prayer.
    Listen to what I say.
³ Strangers who don’t even think about God have turned against me.
    Those powerful men are trying to kill me. Selah

⁴ Look, my God will help me.
    My Lord will support me.
⁵ He will punish the people who turned against me.
    God, be faithful to me and destroy them.

⁶ Lord, I will give freewill offerings to you.
    I will praise your good name.
⁷ You saved me from all my troubles.
    I saw my enemies defeated.
