Psalms 54

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

Načelniku godbe na strune; pesem Davidova, ukovita. Ko so prišli Zifejci in rekli Savlu: Ali ne tiči David pri nas? Bog, zavoljo imena svojega reši me, in po kreposti svoji potegni se zame.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

Bog, čuj molitev mojo, uho nagni besedam mojih ust.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Ker tujci spenjajo se proti meni in silovitniki iščejo življenje moje; Boga nimajo pred očmi.

4 Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Glej, Bog mi pomaga, Gospod je med njimi, ki podpirajo življenje moje.

5 Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

Sovražnikom mojim vrni tisto zlo, po resničnosti svoji jih pokončaj.

6 I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

Obilo ti bodem daroval; slavil bodem ime tvoje, Gospod, ker je dobro.

7 For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!

Ker reši me vsake stiske, in sovražnike moje gleda moje oko.
