1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

53:1 In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,

2 cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?

3 ¶ Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac,
et in virtute tua judica me.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

4 Deus, exaudi orationem meam;
auribus percipe verba oris mei.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

5 Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me,
et fortes quæsierunt animam meam,
et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

6 Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me,
et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

7 Averte mala inimicis meis;
et in veritate tua disperde illos.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi,
et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

9 Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me,
et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
