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!

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. David kpa ha sia esi Zifitɔwo yi Saul gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe David meva ɣla ɖe mía dome oa?” Ɖem, O! Mawu, ɖem kple wò ŋkɔ, tsɔ wò ŋusẽ tso afia nam.

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

O! Mawu, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàƒu to anyi ɖe nye numenyawo ŋu.

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

Amedzrowo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ti nye agbe yome, ame siwo mebua Mawu ɖe naneke me o. (Sela)

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

Mawu nye nye xɔnametɔ vavã, Aƒetɔ lae nye ame si lém ɖe asi.

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

Vɔ̃ negbugbɔ va ame siwo le ŋunye gblẽm la dzi, tsrɔ̃ wo le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.

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

Masa lɔlɔ̃nuvɔsa na wò, O! Yehowa, makafu wò ŋkɔ, elabena enyo.

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

Eɖem tso nye xaxawo katã me, eye nye ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si woɖu nye futɔwo dzii.
