Psalms 54

1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your 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; listen to the words of my mouth.

Poslušaj, Bože, moju molitvu i usliši riječi usta mojih!

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

Oholice ustadoše na me i moj život traže silnici: na Boga se ne osvrću.

4 For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

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

6 I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

Od srca rado ću ti žrtvovati, slavit ću ti ime, Jahve, jer je dobrostivo,

7 For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

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