Psalms 54

1 God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David, cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos? Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.

2 God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.

3 because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

4 But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

5 He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

Averte mala inimicis meis; et in veritate tua disperde illos.

6 Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.

7 you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.

Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
