< 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
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 non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum diapsalma
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 Dominus susceptor animae meae
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos
He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum
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.
