Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

Nkulunkulu, ngisindisa ngebizo lakho, ungahlulele ngamandla akho.

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

Nkulunkulu, zwana umkhuleko wami, ubeke indlebe emazwini 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)

Ngoba abemzini bangivukele, abalolunya badinga umphefumulo wami, kababekanga uNkulunkulu phambi kwabo. (Sela)

4 Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

Khangela, uNkulunkulu ungumsizi wami; iNkosi ilalabo abasekela umphefumulo wami.

5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

Izaphindisela ububi ezitheni zami. Baqume ngeqiniso lakho.

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

Ngizanikela umhlatshelo kuwe ngokukhululeka, ngizadumisa ibizo lakho, Nkosi, ngoba lihle.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

Ngoba ungikhulule ekuhluphekeni konke, lelihlo lami libonile isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
