Psalmorum 54

1 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.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

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

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

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

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

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

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

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

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

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

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
