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 Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

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 violent men have sought after my soul; 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 for me as the upholder of my soul.

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for 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 gazed upon mine enemies.
