Psalm 54:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nKing David–the second king of Israel and father of the Davidic royal and messianic dynasty. David composed over seventy of the 150 psalms of Sefer Tehillim.<\/p>\n

When and Why:<\/em>
\nDavid wrote this psalm after he was saved from the inhabitants of the city of Zif, who tried to hand him over to Saul.<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/em>
\nPsalm of Individual Lament–This psalm was written from the perspective of the individual worshipper, who cries out to God in his time of need. It is characterized as an address to God involving a complaint, followed by a request and ending with an expression of trust.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nAs explained earlier, King David views his personal woes as a parallel to the troubles of the Jewish people. Just as he trusted in God when imperiled by Saul and his men, similarly Israel must trust in God in her times of trouble. Only then will she merit to be saved.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of nine verses, subdivided into two parts.
\nVerses 1 & 2 serve as a heading.
\nIn verses 3-5, King David prays for God\u2019s salvation, and further asks that his prayer be heard.
\nIn verses 6-9, he expresses his trust that salvation will indeed come.<\/p>\n

Technical Terminology:<\/em>
\n\u05e0\u05d2\u05d9\u05e0\u05ea–Neginot<\/em>–Tunes
\n\u05de\u05e9\u05db\u05d9\u05dc–Maskil<\/em>–a discerning person; alternatively, a giver of instruction, perhaps denoting a translator of the chapter (Rashi).
\n\u05e1\u05dc\u05d4–Selah<\/em>–While its meaning is unclear, the most familiar option is that it is a musical notation, instructing the Levitical orchestra to pause its singing and playing of instruments. Alternatively, \u201cSelah\u201d may mean \u201ceverlasting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim–When to Say:<\/em>
\nFor protection from an enemy–Verse 7 states: \u201cHe will repay the evil to those who watch for my downfall with Your truth destroy them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biblical Personalities:<\/em>
\nSaul–the first King of Israel. After Saul disobeyed God\u2019s command to destroy all of Amalek, the prophet Shmuel (Samuel) dethroned Saul and anointed David to start a new monarchic line.
\nZiphites–men from an area called Ziph. They were from the tribe of Judah, as was David, but they didn\u2019t hesitate to betray him. David and his men had taken refuge in the wilderness of Ziph after their escape from Saul. When the Ziphites discovered them, they immediately reported their hideout to Saul. Their treachery was considered even greater than that of Doeg, who was not related to David as were the Zifim (See Psalm 52).<\/p>\n
