< Psalms 54 >
1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
Psalmus, in finem, In hymnis intellectus David, cum venerunt Ziphaei, et dixerunt ad Saul: Nonne ecce David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; 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 oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Yhwh; 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 seen his desire upon mine enemies.
Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me: et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
