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

For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.

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

For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)

4 ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.

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

For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.
