Psalms 54

1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

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 O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

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

4 For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

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

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

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

6 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

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

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

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