Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David.
1(54-1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: (54-2) when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' (54-3) O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.
2[Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam, et ne despexeris deprecationem meam:
2(54-4) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3intende mihi, et exaudi me. Contristatus sum in exercitatione mea, et conturbatus sum
3(54-5) For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah
4a voce inimici, et a tribulatione peccatoris. Quoniam declinaverunt in me iniquitates, et in ira molesti erant mihi.
4(54-6) Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.
5Cor meum conturbatum est in me, et formido mortis cecidit super me.
5(54-7) He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.
6Timor et tremor venerunt super me, et contexerunt me tenebræ.
6(54-8) With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
7Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbæ, et volabo, et requiescam?
7(54-9) For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
8Ecce elongavi fugiens, et mansi in solitudine.
