Psalms 54

1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Undervisning af David,

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

der Sifiterne kom og sagde til Saul: Har David ikke skjult sig hos os?

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Frels mig, Gud! ved dit Navn og beskik mig Ret ved din Magt.

4 See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

Gud! hør min Bøn, vend Øren til min Munds Tale.

5 He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

Thi fremmede staa op imod mig, og Voldsmænd søge efter mit Liv; de have ikke Gud for Øje. (Sela)

6 I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

Se, Gud hjælper mig; Herren er iblandt dem, som opholde min Sjæl.

7 For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

Han skal betale mine Fjender det onde; udryd dem ifølge din Sandhed! Jeg vil ofre dig frivilligt Offer; jeg vil takke dit Navn, Herre! thi det er godt. Thi han friede mig af al Nød, og mit Øje saa sin Lyst paa mine Fjender.
