Psalms 54:4

"Behold, God is my helper:

The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies:

Destroy thou them in thy truth."

"The Lord is of them that uphold my soul" (Psalms 54:4). "This is a literal rendition of the Hebrew";[2] but the thought is not that the Lord is merely one of David's helpers, but that it is no other than God himself who supports and aids all of those helpers who are helping David. "Like a string of zeroes, our many friends stand for nothing, unless the Lord sets himself as a unit in front of them; then their number is innumerable."[3] Who were David's human helpers? They were the "six hundred men"; they were the "thirty-three mighty men"; they were "all in Israel who loved the Lord," and who prayed to be rid of the blatant paganism of Saul.

"He will requite the evil unto mine enemies" (Psalms 54:5) "The center of the Psalm is God's faithfulness; therefore right will be vindicated and enemies will be punished."[4] Nothing is further from the Spirit of God than the foolish notion that God is never really going to punish anybody.
