Psalmi 54

1 Dāvida mācības dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, uz koklēm. Kad Zifieši nāca un Saulam sacīja: vai Dāvids pie mums nav paslēpies? Ak Dievs atpestī mani caur Savu vārdu un nes man tiesu caur Savu varu.

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 Ak Dievs, klausi manu lūgšanu, liec vērā, ko mana mute runā.

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Jo svešinieki ceļas pret mani, un briesmīgi ļaudis meklē manu dvēseli; tie netur Dievu priekš savām acīm. (Sela)

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Redzi, Dievs man ir par palīgu; Tas Kungs ir tas, kas manu dvēseli uztur.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

5 Viņš maksās to ļaunumu maniem nicinātājiem; izdeldē tos pēc Tavas uzticības.

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

6 Tad es Tev upurēšu ar labu prātu, es pateikšos, Kungs, Tavam Vārdam, ka tas ir tik labs.

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 Jo Viņš mani izglābis no visām bēdām, ka mana acs ar prieku uzlūko manus ienaidniekus.

For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
