< 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 end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.
2 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei
O God, hear my prayer; listen 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 mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)
4 ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae
For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos
He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.
6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum
I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
7 quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus
For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
