Psalms 54

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

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, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

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

5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

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

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

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

7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

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