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, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

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

Lo, 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 doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,

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

For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
