< 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 strengespil. En maskil af David, da zifitterne kom og sagde til Saul: "David har skjult sig hos os".) Frels mig o Gud, ved dit navn og skaf mig min ret ved din Vælde,
2 Hear my prayer, God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
hør, o Gud, min Bøn, lyt til min Munds Ord!
3 For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)
Thi frække står op imod mig, Voldsmænd vil tage mit Liv; Gud har de ikke for Øje. (Sela)
4 See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.
Se, min Hjælper er Gud, Herren støtter min Sjæl!
5 He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!
Det onde vende sig mod mine Fjender, udryd dem i din Trofasthed!
6 I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.
Da vil jeg frivilligt ofre til dig, prise dit Navn, o HERRE, thi det er godt;
7 For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!
