Psalm 54
Chapter Summary
Another Prayer for Safety
Once again, we see one of David’s early psalms—yet again betrayed to King Saul, who wants to kill him. This time, he is able to cling more clearly to his faith, not only naming God as his helper and sustainer, but also, in verse 6, showing us what that “sacrifice of thanksgiving” is. He is sacrificing in praise now, before his prayer is answered! Can you do that?
