Psalms 54

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

Načelniku godbe na strune; pesem Davidova, ukovita. Ko so prišli Zifejci in rekli Savlu: Ali ne tiči David pri nas? Bog, zavoljo imena svojega reši me, in po kreposti svoji potegni se zame.

2 God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.

Bog, čuj molitev mojo, uho nagni besedam mojih ust.

3 For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)

Ker tujci spenjajo se proti meni in silovitniki iščejo življenje moje; Boga nimajo pred očmi.

4 But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!

Glej, Bog mi pomaga, Gospod je med njimi, ki podpirajo življenje moje.

5 The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.

Sovražnikom mojim vrni tisto zlo, po resničnosti svoji jih pokončaj.

6 I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.

Obilo ti bodem daroval; slavil bodem ime tvoje, Gospod, ker je dobro.

7 For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.

Ker reši me vsake stiske, in sovražnike moje gleda moje oko.
