My psalm 54 prayer to God

O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. (Psalm 54:1-7 ESV)

Lord guide my words by your Spirit in me to write my heart and pray to you as David did in his time of trouble and times of rejoicing. Let this Psalm of mine be pleasing to you!

Father God, save me by your power, and turn my heart to you by your transforming gospel.
God hear my prayer, listen to me and the small hopes of my weak heart. For my own heart, life, the world, some family, some situations have turned against me. People and structures I thought I could depend on have failed me, I have sinned and depended too greatly on myself and set my hope and dependence in the wrong things. 
Yet I will still rejoice in you Lord.
For God is my helper and ever present protector, Lord you are the one who created me and hold my every day and every part of my being together. Lord you will work against those who work against your gospel. Lord you will work all things out for your good and my good. You will put an end to my sin and reign victorious in me!
Lord in my prayers and my abundance I will rejoice and give back to you and others out of thanksgiving! I will praise and give thanks to you sovereign God! For you have provided all I have and blessed me in giving more. For I tell you our God has led me out of darkness into light and even in times of stress and my own sin you have been faithful and doing new and beautiful work in me and through me. 
Amen
