Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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 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 quæsierunt 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 animæ meæ.

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 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 seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.

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