Psalms 54

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

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho amaZifi aya kuSawuli afika athi, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga yini phakathi kwethu?” Ngisindisa, awu Nkulunkulu, ngebizo lakho; ngigeza ecaleni ngamandla akho.

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

Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela amazwi omlomo wami.

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

Ngihlaselwa ngabantu engingabaziyo; izikliwi zifuna impilo yami abantu abangamnanzanga uNkulunkulu.

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

Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu ulusizo lwami; uThixo nguye ongisizayo.

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

Akuthi ububi bubuyele phezu kwalabo abangigconayo; ngokuthembeka kwakho babhubhise.

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

Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo owomnikelo wokuzithandela; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho, Thixo, ngoba lihle.

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

Ngoba ingikhulule kuzozonke inhlupheko zami, lamehlo ami akubonile ukunqotshwa kwezitha zami.
