Guiding Questions: Psalms 54

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

According to Psalms 54:2, when was this particular Psalm composed and in whose “mouth” is it placed?
Is it, then, a Psalm of protection seeking?
And, in Psalms 54:5, does the Psalmist indicate that his enemies are God’s enemies?
In the closing refrain (Psalms 54:6-9), in addition to giving thanks for having been “saved” what does the composer of the Psalm wish for his enemies?
