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 him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

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

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

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

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

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

He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

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

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

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

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
