Zaburi 54

1 Kuom jatend wer. Wer miwero gi thumbe man-gi waya. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane jo-Zif osedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Donge Daudi ma imanyo opondo e gwengʼwa?” Resa gi nyingi, yaye Nyasaye; ngʼadna bura kare gi tekoni.

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

2 Winj lamona, yaye Nyasaye; chik iti ne weche mawuok e dhoga.

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

3 Jopinje moko monja; acheje kawo ngimana, gin joma ok dew Nyasaye. (Sela)

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

4 Adier, Nyasaye e jakonyna; Ruoth owuon ema rita.

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

5 Mad chandruok lwor joma ketho nyinga mi ketgi diere; tiekgi, nikech in ja-adiera.

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

6 Abiro timoni misango gi chiwo mar (hera) abiro pako nyingi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech nyingi ber.

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

7 Nikech oseresa kuom gik mathaga duto, mi omiyo wengena ongʼiyo wasika tir bangʼ loyogi.

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