Psalms 54 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

54:0
בְּבֹ֣א הַ֭זִּיפִים וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לְשָׁא֑וּל הֲלֹ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד מִסְתַּתֵּ֥ר עִמָּֽנוּ׃
ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς Ζιφαίους καὶ εἰπεῖν τῷ σαουλ οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ κέκρυπται παρ’ ἡμῖν
cum venissent Ziphaei, et dixissent ad Saul : Nonne David absconditus est apud nos ?
—
When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?”
54:1
אֱ֭לֹהִים בְּשִׁמְךָ֣ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֑נִי וּבִגְבוּרָתְךָ֥ תְדִינֵֽנִי׃
ὁ θεός ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου σῶσόν με καὶ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου κρῖνόν με
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
—
Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
54:2
אֱ֭לֹהִים שְׁמַ֣ע תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינָה לְאִמְרֵי־פִֽי׃
ὁ θεός εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου ἐνώτισαι τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου
Deus, exaudi orationem meam ; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
ፍጻሜ ፡ ስብሐት ፡ ዘበኣእምሮ ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ ዘአመ ፡ መጽኡ ፡ ዜፌዊያን ፡ ወይቤልዎ ፡ ለሳኦል ፤ ናሁ ፡ ዳዊት ፡ ይትኀባእ ፡ ኀቤነ ። እግዚኦ ፡ በስምከ ፡ አድኅነኒ ፤ ወበኀይልከ ፡ ፍታሕ ፡ ሊተ ።
Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
54:3
כִּ֤י זָרִ֨ים׀ קָ֤מוּ עָלַ֗י וְֽ֭עָרִיצִים בִּקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י לֹ֤א שָׂ֨מוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לְנֶגְדָּ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
ὅτι ἀλλότριοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμέ καὶ κραταιοὶ ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου οὐ προέθεντο τὸν θεὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διάψαλμα
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
እግዚኦ ፡ ስምዐኒ ፡ ጸሎትየ ፤ ወአፅምእ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አፉየ ።
For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah.
54:4
הִנֵּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים עֹזֵ֣ר לִ֑י אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י בְּֽסֹמְכֵ֥י נַפְשִֽׁי׃
ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς βοηθεῖ μοι καὶ ὁ κύριος ἀντιλήμπτωρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου
Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
54:5
(ישוב) [יָשִׁ֣יב] הָ֭רַע לְשֹׁרְרָ֑י בַּ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ הַצְמִיתֵֽם׃
ἀποστρέψει τὰ κακὰ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου ἐξολέθρευσον αὐτούς
Averte mala inimicis meis ; et in veritate tua disperde illos.
ናሁ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይረድአኒ ፤ ወእግዚእየ ፡ ያድኅና ፡ ለነፍስየ ።
He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
54:6
בִּנְדָבָ֥ה אֶזְבְּחָה־לָּ֑ךְ א֤וֹדֶה־שִּׁמְךָ֖ יְהֹוָ֣ה כִּי־טֽוֹב׃
ἑκουσίως θύσω σοι ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε ὅτι ἀγαθόν
Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.
ወይመይጣ ፡ ለእኪት ፡ ዲበ ፡ ጸላእትየ ፤ ወበጽድቅከ ፡ ሠርዎሙ ።
With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.
54:7
כִּ֣י מִכׇּל־צָ֭רָה הִצִּילָ֑נִי וּ֝בְאֹיְבַ֗י רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינִֽי׃ {פ}
ὅτι ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως ἐρρύσω με καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου
Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
