Psalmorum 54

1 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 iudica me.

Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

2 Deus exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe verba oris mei.

O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me: et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Averte mala inimicis meis: et in veritate tua disperde illos.

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
