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.

Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a Sififoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid abɛhinta wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi di mʼasɛm ma me.

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

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)

Ahɔhoɔ reto ahyɛ me so. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ repɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

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

Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me ɔboafoɔ; Awurade ne me hwɛfoɔ.

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

Ma mmusuo nkyim mmra wɔn a wɔdi me ho nsekuro so; wo nokorɛdie mu, sɛe wɔn.

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

Mɛfiri me pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo; Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ.

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

Woagye me afiri me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahunu nkonimdie wɔ mʼatamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoeɛ.
