1 Salva-me, ó Deus, pelo teu nome; defende-me pelo teu poder.

2 Ouve a minha oração, ó Deus; escuta as minhas palavras.

3 Estrangeiros me atacam; homens cruéis querem matar-me, homens que não se importam com Deus. Pausa

4 Certamente Deus é o meu auxílio; é o Senhor que me sustém.

5 Recaia o mal sobre os meus inimigos! Extermina-os por tua fidelidade!

6 Eu te oferecerei um sacrifício voluntário; louvarei o teu nome, ó Senhor, porque tu és bom.

7 Pois ele me livrou de todas as minhas angústias, e os meus olhos contemplaram a derrota dos meus inimigos.

1 To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David.\

2 \54:1\When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us?

3 \54:1\Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

4 \54:2\Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

5 \54:3\For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)

6 \54:4\See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

7 \54:5\Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

8 \54:6\Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

9 \54:7\Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
