7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
Behold, as your life was much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.
This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; So that men shall say, "Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous. Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth."
You will only look with your eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked.

Commentary on Psalms 54 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 54
The key of this psalm hangs at the door, for the title tells us upon what occasion it was penned-when the inhabitants of Ziph, men of Judah (types of Judas the traitor), betrayed David to Saul, by informing him where he was and putting him in a way how to seize him. This they did twice (1 Sa. 23:19; 26:1), and it is upon record to their everlasting infamy. The psalm is sweet; the former part of it, perhaps, was meditated when he was in his distress and put into writing when the danger was over, with the addition of the last two verses, which express his thankfulness for the deliverance, which yet might be written in faith, even when he was in the midst of his fright. Here,
What time we are in distress we may comfortable sing this psalm.
To the chief musician on Neginoth, Maschil. A psalm of David, when the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
Psa 54:1-3
We may observe here,
Psa 54:4-7
We have here the lively actings of David's faith in his prayer, by which he was assured that the issue would be comfortable, though the attempt upon him was formidable.
