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,

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

Hear my prayer, God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

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

For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
