Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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, O 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 oppressors seek after my soul: 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 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

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

5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

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

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.

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