The cry to God to deliver
Psalm 54 is the cry to God to deliver according to the value of
His name, the subject of trust. The double character of the
enemies is spoken of — strangers, enemies from without; and
oppressors, the proud within, who hunt for the life of the
poor. When deliverance comes, then the name of Jehovah is
introduced (v. 6, 7). The name of God is the revelation of what He
is. This is what is trusted. Jehovah's name, that of their
covenant God, will be praised when they get back into the place of
association with Him.
