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.

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 are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

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

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

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

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

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

7 For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.

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