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.

For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

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

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

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

For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

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

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

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

I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

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

For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
