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 Strengeleg; en Undervisning af David,

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

der Sifiterne kom og sagde til Saul: Har David ikke 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, Gud! ved dit Navn og beskik mig Ret ved din Magt.

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

Gud! hør min Bøn, vend Øren til min Munds Tale.

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

Thi fremmede staa op imod mig, og Voldsmænd søge efter mit Liv; de have ikke Gud for Øje. (Sela)

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

Se, Gud hjælper mig; Herren er iblandt dem, som opholde min Sjæl.

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

Han skal betale mine Fjender det onde; udryd dem ifølge din Sandhed! Jeg vil ofre dig frivilligt Offer; jeg vil takke dit Navn, Herre! thi det er godt. Thi han friede mig af al Nød, og mit Øje saa sin Lyst paa mine Fjender.
