Psalm 54: Help me now as you’ve helped me before
You’ve done it before
and you’ll do it again -
Answer my prayer, O God!
You’ve helped me before
and you’ll help me again –
Save me, O God!
This has happened before
and will happen again –
I’m trapped, I’m attacked,
I’m sorry for myself.
Many are those who don’t know you -
they twist the truth
and work against your ways.
But then I remember
who I am to you.
I remember how you work
in me and through me
And so I praise you now
as I have praised you before
and will praise you again
for you are Lord
and you are good
and I am yours.
