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.

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

Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

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

quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me et fortes quaesierunt animam meam non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum diapsalma

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

ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

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

avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

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

voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

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

quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus
