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.

Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Maskil af David,

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

da Zifiterne kom og sagde til Saul: »David har skjult sig hos os.«

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

Frels mig, o Gud, ved dit Navn og skaf mig min Ret ved din Vælde,

4 Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

hør, o Gud, min Bøn, lyt til min Munds Ord!

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Thi frække staar op imod mig, Voldsmænd vil tage mit Liv; Gud har de ikke for Øje. (Sela)

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

Se, min Hjælper er Gud, Herren støtter min Sjæl!

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Det onde vende sig mod mine Fjender, udryd dem i din Trofasthed! Da vil jeg frivilligt ofre til dig, prise dit Navn, o HERRE, thi det er godt; thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!
