Psalmorum 54

1 In finem, In carminibus, intellectus David, Cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos? Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtute tua iudica me.

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.

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei.

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

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

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

4 Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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