Psalms 54

1 God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Maskil af David,

2 God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

da Zifiterne kom og sagde til Saul: »David har skjult sig hos os.«

3 because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

Frels mig, o Gud, ved dit Navn og skaf mig min Ret ved din Vælde,

4 But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

hør, o Gud, min Bøn, lyt til min Munds Ord!

5 He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

Thi frække staar op imod mig, Voldsmænd vil tage mit Liv; Gud har de ikke for Øje. (Sela)

6 Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

Se, min Hjælper er Gud, Herren støtter min Sjæl!

7 you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.

Det onde vende sig mod mine Fjender, udryd dem i din Trofasthed! Da vil jeg frivilligt ofre til dig, prise dit Navn, o HERRE, thi det er godt; thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!
