Psalms 54

1 Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

In finem, In carminibus intellectus David, Cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.

2 Sh'ma ·Hear obey· 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) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

4 Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.

Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

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

Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, for it is good.

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo Domine: quoniam bonum est:

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.
