Psalm 54

English Standard Version

The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”

1 O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might.^[1] (Ps 5:11; Ps 52:9) 2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. (Ps 55:1) 3 For strangers^[2] have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah (1Sa 23:15; Ps 18:44; Ps 86:14; Ps 144:7; Isa 25:5)

1Sa 23:15Ps 18:44Ps 86:14Ps 144:7Isa 25:5

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. (Ps 118:7) 5 He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. (Ps 89:49; Ps 143:12) 6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. (Ps 52:9) 7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. (Ps 59:10; Ps 92:11; Ps 112:8; Ps 118:7)

Hilferuf eines Bedrängten

1 Eine Unterweisung Davids, vorzusingen, beim Saitenspiel, 2 als die Leute von Sif kamen und zu Saul sprachen: David hält sich bei uns verborgen. (1Sa 23:19; 1Sa 26:1) 3 Hilf mir, Gott, durch deinen Namen und schaffe mir Recht durch deine Kraft. 4 Gott, erhöre mein Gebet, vernimm die Rede meines Mundes. 5 Denn Stolze erheben sich gegen mich, / und Gewalttäter trachten mir nach dem Leben; sie haben Gott nicht vor Augen. Sela. 6 Siehe, Gott steht mir bei, der Herr erhält mein Leben. 7 Er wird die Bosheit meinen Feinden vergelten. Vertilge sie um deiner Treue willen! 8 Mit Freuden will ich dir Opfer bringen und deinem Namen, HERR, danken, dass er so tröstlich ist. 9 Denn du errettest mich aus aller meiner Not, dass mein Auge auf meine Feinde herabsieht.

Psalm 54

from Società Biblica di Ginevra

Preghiera di liberazione

1 Al direttore del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Cantico di Davide, quando gli Zifei vennero a dire a Saul: «Davide non è forse nascosto tra noi?» O Dio, salvami per amore del tuo nome, e fammi giustizia per la tua potenza. 2 O Dio, ascolta la mia preghiera, porgi orecchio alle parole della mia bocca! 3 Poiché degli stranieri sono insorti contro di me e dei violenti cercano l’anima mia. Essi non tengono Dio presente davanti a loro. [Pausa] 4 Ecco, Dio è il mio aiuto; il Signore è colui che sostiene l’anima mia. 5 Egli farà ricadere il male sui miei nemici. Nella tua fedeltà, distruggili! 6 Con cuore generoso ti offrirò sacrifici; celebrerò il tuo nome, o Signore, perché sei buono; 7 infatti mi hai salvato da ogni disgrazia, e l’occhio mio ha visto sui miei nemici quel che desideravo.
