< Psalms 54 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
in finem in carminibus intellectus David cum venissent Ziphei 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, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei
3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)
quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me et fortes quaesierunt animam meam non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum diapsalma
4 Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.
ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus
