1 To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David.\2 \54:1\When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? 3 \54:1\Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.4 \54:2\Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.5 \54:3\For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)6 \54:4\See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.7 \54:5\Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.8 \54:6\Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.9 \54:7\Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.

1 Vir die musiekleier; met snaarinstrumente. 'n Onderwysing van Dawid,2 toe die Sifiete gekom en aan Saul gesê het: Het Dawid hom nie by ons weggesteek nie?3 o God, verlos my deur u Naam, en doen aan my reg deur u mag!4 o God, hoor my gebed, luister na die woorde van my mond!5 Want vreemdes staan teen my op, en tiranne soek my lewe; hulle stel God nie voor hul oë nie. Sela.6 Kyk, God is my helper. Dit is die Here wat my siel ondersteun.7 Hy sal my vyande die kwaad vergelde. Vernietig hulle in u trou! [ (Psalms 54:8) Vrywillig wil ek aan U offer; ek wil u Naam, o HERE, loof, want die is goed; ] [ (Psalms 54:9) want die het my uit alle benoudheid gered, en my oog het met welgevalle op my vyande neergesien. ]
