Psalmi 54

Biblia Sacra Vulgata

54 In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David.

²Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam, et ne despexeris deprecationem meam:

³intende mihi, et exaudi me. Contristatus sum in exercitatione mea, et conturbatus sum

⁴a voce inimici, et a tribulatione peccatoris. Quoniam declinaverunt in me iniquitates, et in ira molesti erant mihi.

⁵Cor meum conturbatum est in me, et formido mortis cecidit super me.

⁶Timor et tremor venerunt super me, et contexerunt me tenebrae.

⁷Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbae, et volabo, et requiescam?

⁸Ecce elongavi fugiens, et mansi in solitudine.

⁹Exspectabam eum qui salvum me fecit a pusillanimitate spiritus, et tempestate.

¹⁰Praecipita, Domine; divide linguas eorum: quoniam vidi iniquitatem et contradictionem in civitate.

¹¹Die ac nocte circumdabit eam super muros ejus iniquitas; et labor in medio ejus,

¹²et injustitia: et non defecit de plateis ejus usura et dolus.

¹³Quoniam si inimicus meus maledixisset mihi, sustinuissem utique. Et si is qui oderat me super me magna locutus fuisset, abscondissem me forsitan ab eo.

¹⁴Tu vero homo unanimis, dux meus, et notus meus:

¹⁵qui simul mecum dulces capiebas cibos; in domo Dei ambulavimus cum consensu.

¹⁶Veniat mors super illos, et descendant in infernum viventes: quoniam nequitiae in habitaculis eorum, in medio eorum.

¹⁷Ego autem ad Deum clamavi, et Dominus salvabit me.

¹⁸Vespere, et mane, et meridie, narrabo, et annuntiabo; et exaudiet vocem meam.

¹⁹Redimet in pace animam meam ab his qui appropinquant mihi: quoniam inter multos erant mecum.

²⁰Exaudiet Deus, et humiliabit illos, qui est ante saecula. Non enim est illis commutatio, et non timuerunt Deum.

²¹Extendit manum suam in retribuendo; contaminaverunt testamentum ejus:

²²divisi sunt ab ira vultus ejus, et appropinquavit cor illius. Molliti sunt sermones ejus super oleum; et ipsi sunt jacula.

²³Jacta super Dominum curam tuam, et ipse te enutriet; non dabit in aeternum fluctuationem justo.

²⁴Tu vero, Deus, deduces eos in puteum interitus. Viri sanguinum et dolosi non dimidiabunt dies suos; ego autem sperabo in te, Domine.

Psalm 54

New International Version

Psalm 54^[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil^[b] of David. When the Ziphites^(A) had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”

¹Save me^(B), O God, by your name;^(C)
vindicate me by your might.^(D)
²Hear my prayer, O God;^(E)
listen to the words of my mouth.

³Arrogant foes are attacking me;^(F)
ruthless people^(G) are trying to kill me^(H)—
people without regard for God.^[c]^(I)

⁴Surely God is my help;^(J)
the Lord is the one who sustains me.^(K)

⁵Let evil recoil^(L) on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness^(M) destroy them.

⁶I will sacrifice a freewill offering^(N) to you;
I will praise^(O) your name, Lord, for it is good.^(P)
⁷You have delivered me^(Q) from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.^(R)
