Psalms 54

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

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.

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

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

3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

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

4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

Adier, Nyasaye e jakonyna; Ruoth owuon ema rita.

5 He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

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

6 Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

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

7 For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.

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