Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad su Zifijci došli k Šaulu govoreći: “David se kod nas Spasi me, Bože, svojim imenom i jakošću svojom izbori mi pravdu!

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

Poslušaj, Bože, moju molitvu i usliši riječi usta mojih!

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Oholice ustadoše na me i moj život traže silnici: na Boga se ne osvrću.

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

Okreni nesreću na dušmane moje, zatri ih u vjernosti svojoj.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

Od srca rado ću ti žrtvovati, slavit ću ti ime, Jahve, jer je dobrostivo,

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

jer ti me izbavi iz svake nevolje, i oko moje vidje postiđene moje dušmane.
