Psalms 54

1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David, cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos? Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.

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

Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.

3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

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

4 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

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