Psalms 54:1
Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
BSB
ASV
Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
KJV
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
Save me, O God. Thou art my Saviour; all around me are my foes and their eager helpers. No shelter is permitted me. Every land rejects me and denies me rest. But thou, O God, wilt give me refuge, and deliver me from all my enemies. By thy name, by thy great and glorious nature. Employ all thine attributes for me. Let every one of the perfections which are blended in thy divine name work for me. Is not thine honour pledged for my defence? And judge me by thy strength.
He appeals to God's strength, by which he was able to help him, and to his name, by which he was engaged to help him, and begs he would save him from his enemies and judge him, that is, plead his cause and judge for him.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
Through
Acts 4:12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
leads to
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Through
Proverbs 18:10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
leads to
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
