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.

To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

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

Let my prayer come before you, O 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 men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

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

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

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

Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

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

Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
