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 of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments A psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?” Save me, O God! by thy name, And by thy strength defend my cause!

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 enemies have risen up against me, And oppressors seek my life; They have not set God before their eyes. (Pause)

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

Behold! God is my helper; The Lord is the support of my life.

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

He will repay evil to my enemies; For thy truth's sake, O God! cut them off!

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

With a willing heart will I sacrifice to thee; I will praise 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 thou hast delivered me from all trouble, So that my eye hath looked with joy upon my enemies!
