Psalmorum 54

1 in finem in carminibus intellectus David cum venissent Ziphei et dixissent ad Saul nonne David absconditus est apud nos Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac et in virtute tua iudica me

For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “David is in hiding among us”. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend to the words of my mouth.

3 quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me et fortes quaesierunt animam meam non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum diapsalma

For proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not set God before them. (Selah)

4 ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.

5 avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.

6 voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;

7 quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus

for from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.
