Psalm 54:7

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

5He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
7For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
