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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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 terrible ones have sought 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 to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

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

For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
