Salme 54

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

For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God; give ear 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, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

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

He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

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

I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, 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 rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
