Psalms 54

1 For the end, amongst Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.

Psalmus, in finem, In hymnis intellectus David, cum venerunt Ziphaei, et dixerunt ad Saul: Nonne ecce David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.

2 O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.

Deus exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

4 For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.

6 I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo Domine: quoniam bonum est:

7 For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me: et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
