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?

Načelniku godbe na strune; pesem Davidova, ukovita. Ko so prišli Zifejci in rekli Savlu: Ali ne tiči David pri nas? Bog, zavoljo imena svojega reši me, in po kreposti svoji potegni se zame.

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

Bog, čuj molitev mojo, uho nagni besedam mojih ust.

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

Ker tujci spenjajo se proti meni in silovitniki iščejo življenje moje; Boga nimajo pred očmi.

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

Glej, Bog mi pomaga, Gospod je med njimi, ki podpirajo življenje moje.

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

Sovražnikom mojim vrni tisto zlo, po resničnosti svoji jih pokončaj.

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

Obilo ti bodem daroval; slavil bodem ime tvoje, Gospod, ker je dobro.

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

Ker reši me vsake stiske, in sovražnike moje gleda moje oko.
