Psalm 54, Chant D

 

Psalm 54   Deus, in nomine

1 Save me, O God, by your Name; *
in your might, de-fend my cause.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; *
give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For the arrogant have risen up against me, and the ruthless have sought my life, *
those who have no re-gard for God.

4 Behold, God is my help-er; *
it is the Lord who sus-tains my life.

5 Render evil to those who spy on me; *
in your faithful-ness, des-troy them.

6 I will offer you a free-will sa-crifice *
and praise your Name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For you have rescued me from eve-ry trou-ble, *
and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
