Psalms 54

1 To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad su Zifijci došli k Šaulu govoreći: “David se kod nas Spasi me, Bože, svojim imenom i jakošću svojom izbori mi pravdu!

2 Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Poslušaj, Bože, moju molitvu i usliši riječi usta mojih!

3 For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

Oholice ustadoše na me i moj život traže silnici: na Boga se ne osvrću.

4 See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

Evo, Bog mi pomaže, Gospodin krijepi život moj.

5 Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

Okreni nesreću na dušmane moje, zatri ih u vjernosti svojoj.

6 Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

Od srca rado ću ti žrtvovati, slavit ću ti ime, Jahve, jer je dobrostivo,

7 Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.

jer ti me izbavi iz svake nevolje, i oko moje vidje postiđene moje dušmane.
