Psalm 54
Opening Scripture Reading

LEADER:
O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might.

EVERYONE:
O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

LEADER:
For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves.

EVERYONE:
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.

LEADER:
He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.

EVERYONE:
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
