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.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

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

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

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

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

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

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

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

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

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

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
