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 Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant 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 [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

I will liberally 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 out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.
