Psalms 54

1 To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda tango bato ya Zifi bayaki koyebisa Saulo: « Davidi abombami kati na biso. » Oh Nzambe, bikisa ngai na nzela ya Kombo na Yo, longisa ngai na nzela ya nguya na Yo.

2 Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, yoka maloba ya monoko na ngai.

3 For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

Bapaya batelemi mpo na kobundisa ngai; mpe bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai, batalelaka Nzambe te.

4 See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

Tala, Nzambe azali lisungi na ngai, Nkolo azali eyekamelo na ngai.

5 Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

Tika ete akweyisela bayini na ngai mabe! Kati na boyengebene na Yo, bebisa bango.

6 Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

Nakobonzela Yo mbeka na motema malamu, nakokumisa Kombo na Yo, Oh Yawe, pamba te ozali malamu.

7 Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.

Okangoli ngai na pasi nyonso; mpe miso na ngai etali lokola molongi ya banguna na ngai.
