Salmos 54

VBL · Chapter 54/150

1Para el director del coro. Con instrumentos de cuerda. Un Salmo (masquil) de David, cuando los Zifitas vinieron a Saúl y le dijeron, “David se está escondiendo entre nosotros”. ¡Sálvame! ¡Oh, Dios! Por tu carácter, por favor ¡Sálvame! ¡Reivindícame por tu poder!

2Por favor, Dios, escucha mi oración; escucha lo que digo.

3Porque extraños están viniendo a atacarme. Hombres violentos que no creen en Dios están intentando matarme. Selah.

4Pero Dios me ayuda; ¡El Señor salva mi vida!

5El mal que mis enemigos han hecho vendrá sobre ellos. Dependo de ti para destruirlos.

6Felizmente ofreceré sacrificio a ti; te alabaré, Señor, porque tú eres bueno.

7Porque él me ha salvado de todos mis problemas; y he visto a todos los que me odiaban vencidos.

Summary

David pleads for urgent rescue from strangers and ruthless men seeking his life, affirms that God is his helper, and promises to offer a sacrifice of gratitude when he is delivered from all distress.

Explanation

The title links this short psalm to the moment when the Ziphites (inhabitants of a region in the wilderness of Judah) betrayed David, revealing his hiding place to Saul (1 Samuel 23:19-29 and 26:1) — an example of how even seeming allies could turn against him out of self-interest. Despite its brevity, the psalm follows the classic pattern of lament: an urgent plea, an affirmation of trust in God as helper, and a promise of future gratitude. Today's application: even in the face of unexpected betrayals, it is possible to cry out to God with the assurance that He stands on the side of those who trust Him.
