Psalms 54

1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

Reši me, oh Bog, po svojem imenu in sodi me s svojo močjo.

2 O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

Usliši mojo molitev, oh Bog, pazljivo prisluhni besedam mojih ust.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

Kajti zoper mene so vstali tujci in zatiralci strežejo po moji duši; pred seboj si niso postavili Boga. (Sela)

4 For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

Glej, Bog je moj pomočnik. Gospod je s tistimi, ki podpirajo mojo dušo.

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

Mojim sovražnikom bo povrnil zlo, odreži jih v svoji resnici.

6 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

Velikodušno ti bom daroval, hvalil bom tvoje ime, oh Gospod, kajti to je dobro.

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

Kajti osvobodil me je iz vseh težav in moje oko je videlo njegovo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
