Masalimo 54

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Pamene anthu a ku Zifi anapita kwa Sauli ndipo anati, “Kodi Davide sakubisala pakati pathu.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, mwa dzina lanu; onetsani kuti ndine wosalakwa mwamphamvu yanu.

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

2 Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Mulungu mvetserani mawu a pakamwa panga.

Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Alendo akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufunafuna moyo wanga, anthu amene salabadira za Mulungu.

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Zoonadi Mulungu ndi thandizo langa; Ambuye ndiye amene amandichirikiza ine.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 Lolani kuti choyipa chifike pa iwo amene amandichita chipongwe; mwa kukhulupirika kwanu awonongeni.

He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 Ine ndidzapereka nsembe yaufulu kwa Inu; ndidzatamanda dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, pakuti ndi labwino.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 Pakuti Iyeyo wandipulumutsa ku masautso anga onse, ndipo maso anga apenya kupambana kwa pa adani anga.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.
