The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 53  

53:1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.

53:1 In finem in carminibus Intellectus David

53:2 When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?

53:2 Cum venissent Ziphaei et dixissent ad Saul Nonne David absconditus est apud nos

53:3 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

53:3 Deus in nomine tuo salvum me fac et in virtute tua iudica me

53:4 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

53:4 Deus exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe verba oris mei

53:5 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

53:5 Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me et fortes quaesierunt animam meam non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum

53:6 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

53:6 Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me Dominus susceptor animae meae

53:7 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

53:7 Avertet mala inimicis meis in veritate tua disperde illos

53:8 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

53:8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi confitebor nomini tuo Domine quoniam bonum

53:9 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

53:9 Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus
