Save Me, O God, By Thy Great Name
Psalm 54
Dwight Armstrong

Save me, O God, by thy great name, and judge me by thy strength:
My prayer hear, and to my words O God give ear to me.
For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise;
Oppressors do not care for God but seek to take my life.

The mighty God my helper is, lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with ev'ry one that does my soul uphold.
To all my watchful foes he will their evil deeds repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off, and take them all away.

A free-will off'ring I to Thee will bring in sacrifice;
Lord, of thy name, for it is good, thy praises will I sing
Because he hath delivered me from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies.
