Psalms 54

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.

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 [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek 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 a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

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

6 I will liberally 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 out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.

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