Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad su Zifijci došli k Šaulu govoreći: “David se kod nas Spasi me, Bože, svojim imenom i jakošću svojom izbori mi pravdu!

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Poslušaj, Bože, moju molitvu i usliši riječi usta mojih!

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Oholice ustadoše na me i moj život traže silnici: na Boga se ne osvrću.

4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth.

Okreni nesreću na dušmane moje, zatri ih u vjernosti svojoj.

6 With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

Od srca rado ću ti žrtvovati, slavit ću ti ime, Jahve, jer je dobrostivo,

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

jer ti me izbavi iz svake nevolje, i oko moje vidje postiđene moje dušmane.
