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 神啊! 求你因你的名拯救我, 求你以你的大能为我伸冤。

2 神啊! 求你垂听我的祷告, 留心听我口中的言语。

3 因为傲慢的人("傲慢的人"有古抄本作"外族人")起来攻击我, 强横的人寻索我的性命; 他们不把 神放在眼里。(细拉)

4 看哪! 神是我的帮助; 主是扶持我性命的。

5 愿灾祸报应在我仇敌的身上; 愿你因你的信实消灭他们。

6 我要甘心情愿献祭给你; 耶和华啊! 我必称赞你的名, 因你的名是美好的。

7 他救我脱离了一切患难; 我亲眼看见了我的仇敌灭亡。
