Salme 54

1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Undervisning af David,

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 der Sifiterne kom og sagde til Saul: Har David ikke skjult sig hos os?

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Frels mig, Gud! ved dit Navn og beskik mig Ret ved din Magt.

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

4 Gud! hør min Bøn, vend Øren til min Munds Tale.

Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Thi fremmede staa op imod mig, og Voldsmænd søge efter mit Liv; de have ikke Gud for Øje. (Sela)

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Se, Gud hjælper mig; Herren er iblandt dem, som opholde min Sjæl.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

7 Han skal betale mine Fjender det onde; udryd dem ifølge din Sandhed! Jeg vil ofre dig frivilligt Offer; jeg vil takke dit Navn, Herre! thi det er godt. Thi han friede mig af al Nød, og mit Øje saa sin Lyst paa mine Fjender.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
