Psalms 54

1 To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us? O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?

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 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;

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

3 For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life;

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

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

6 With a freewill-offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;

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

7 For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me, —And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.

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