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.

Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

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

Hear my prayer, O God; 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 oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in your truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.

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

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen his desire upon mine enemies.
