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.

Psalmus, in finem, In hymnis intellectus David, cum venerunt Ziphaei, et dixerunt ad Saul: Nonne ecce David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.

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

Deus exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei.

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

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

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

Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.

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

Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.

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

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo Domine: quoniam bonum est:

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

Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me: et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
