Psalms 54

1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

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 violent men have sought after my soul; 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 for me as the upholder of my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

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

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for 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 gazed upon mine enemies.

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