Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

Načelniku godbe na strune; pesem Davidova, ukovita. Ko so prišli Zifejci in rekli Savlu: Ali ne tiči David pri nas? Bog, zavoljo imena svojega reši me, in po kreposti svoji potegni se zame.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Bog, čuj molitev mojo, uho nagni besedam mojih ust.

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

Ker tujci spenjajo se proti meni in silovitniki iščejo življenje moje; Boga nimajo pred očmi.

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Glej, Bog mi pomaga, Gospod je med njimi, ki podpirajo življenje moje.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Sovražnikom mojim vrni tisto zlo, po resničnosti svoji jih pokončaj.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

Obilo ti bodem daroval; slavil bodem ime tvoje, Gospod, ker je dobro.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Ker reši me vsake stiske, in sovražnike moje gleda moje oko.
