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?”

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

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

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

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

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

诗篇 54
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

祈求　神拯救脱离仇敌攻击

大卫的训诲诗，交给诗班长，用丝弦的乐器伴奏，是在西弗人去对扫罗说：“大卫不是在我们中间躲藏吗？”以后作的。（本篇细字标题在《马索拉文本》为54:1~2）

54 　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。
