PSALM 54



Of which he speaks 1Sa 23, when they did seek to betray him a second time.



The psalmist, complaining of his oppressors, prayeth forGod’s protection; and for the righteous punishment of his enemies, Psa_54:1-3. Placing his hope in God’s help, Psa_54:4,5, he promiseth a free sacrifice of thanksgiving to him, Psa_54:6,7.



By thy name, i. e. by thy own strength, as the next words explain it, because I have no other refuge. Or, for thy name, i.e. for thy own glory, which is concerned in my deliverance.



Judge me, i.e. judge or give sentence for me, or plead my cause, as this phrase is oft taken, as we have seen.
