Salme 54

1 (Til sangmesteren. Med strengespil. En maskil af David, da zifitterne kom og sagde til Saul: "David har skjult sig hos os".) Frels mig o Gud, ved dit navn og skaf mig min ret ved din Vælde,

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

2 hør, o Gud, min Bøn, lyt til min Munds Ord!

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

3 Thi frække står op imod mig, Voldsmænd vil tage mit Liv; Gud har de ikke for Øje. (Sela)

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

4 Se, min Hjælper er Gud, Herren støtter min Sjæl!

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

5 Det onde vende sig mod mine Fjender, udryd dem i din Trofasthed!

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

6 Da vil jeg frivilligt ofre til dig, prise dit Navn, o HERRE, thi det er godt;

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

7 thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
