Psalmorum 54

1 in finem in carminibus intellectus David cum venissent Ziphei et dixissent ad Saul nonne David absconditus est apud nos Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac et in virtute tua iudica me

Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

3 quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me et fortes quaesierunt animam meam non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum diapsalma

For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

4 ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

7 quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus

For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
