Salme 54

1 (Til sangmesteren. Med strengespil. En maskil af David, da zifitterne kom og sagde til Saul: "David har skjult sig hos os".) Frels mig o Gud, ved dit navn og skaf mig min ret ved din Vælde,

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.

2 hør, o Gud, min Bøn, lyt til min Munds Ord!

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

3 Thi frække står op imod mig, Voldsmænd vil tage mit Liv; Gud har de ikke for Øje. (Sela)

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

4 Se, min Hjælper er Gud, Herren støtter min Sjæl!

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

5 Det onde vende sig mod mine Fjender, udryd dem i din Trofasthed!

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

6 Da vil jeg frivilligt ofre til dig, prise dit Navn, o HERRE, thi det er godt;

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

7 thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!

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