Psalms 54

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David,	1 Magistro chori. Fidibus. Maskil. David,
2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "David is hiding among us."	2 postquam Ziphaei ad Saul venerunt dicentes: " Ecce David apud nos abditus latet ".
3 O God, by your name save me. By your strength defend my cause.	3 Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac et in virtute tua iudica me.
4 O God, hear my prayer. Listen to the words of my mouth.	4 Deus, exaudi orationem meam, auribus percipe verba oris mei!
5 The arrogant have risen against me; the ruthless seek my life; they do not keep God before them. Selah	5 Quoniam superbi insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
6 God is present as my helper; the Lord sustains my life.	6 Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.
7 Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them.	7 Converte mala super inimicos meos et in veritate tua disperde illos.
8 Then I will offer you generous sacrifice and praise your gracious name, LORD,	8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est;
9 Because it has rescued me from every trouble, and my eyes look down on my foes.	9 quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuit me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
