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.

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

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

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

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought 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.

Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

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

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

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

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

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

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