Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

5 He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

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

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.

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