Psalm 54 - translation for 21st century COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE (2011)

For the music leader / / / With stringed instruments / / / A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding among us?"
God! Save me by your name;
defend me by your might!
God! Hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth!
The proud have come up against me;
violent people want me dead.
They pay no attention to God. --  SELAH.
But look here: God is my helper;
my Lord sustains my life.
He will bring disaster on my opponents.
By your faithfulness, God, destroy them!
I will sacrifice to you freely;
I will give thanks to your name, LORD,
because it's so good,
and because God has delivered me from every distress.
My eyes have seen my enemies' defeat.
