< Psalms 54 >
1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
達味訓誨歌,交與樂官,和以絃樂。 作於齊弗人來對撒烏耳說:「看,達味藏在我們這裡」時。 天主,求你因你的名賜我救援,求你並以你的權能為我伸冤。
2 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
天主,求你俯聽我的祈求,側耳傾聽我的投訴。
3 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.
傲慢的人起來向我進攻,蠻橫的人想謀害我的生命,他們沒有把天主放在眼中。(休止)
4 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
請看,天主必定給我助陣,上主必扶持我生命。
5 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
求你使災禍報應在我的仇讎身上,求你憑你的忠誠將他們消除滅亡。
6 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
我要自願向上主祭獻;上主,我要對你的美名稱讚。
7 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
因為你救我脫離了一切災難,使我親眼看見我的仇敵潰散。
