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.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.

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

Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

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)

Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.

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

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

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

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

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

Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

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

Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
