Psalms 54

1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

Kuom jatend wer. Wer miwero gi thumbe man-gi waya. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane jo-Zif osedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Donge Daudi ma imanyo opondo e gwengʼwa?” Resa gi nyingi, yaye Nyasaye; ngʼadna bura kare gi tekoni.

2 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

Winj lamona, yaye Nyasaye; chik iti ne weche mawuok e dhoga.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

Jopinje moko monja; acheje kawo ngimana, gin joma ok dew Nyasaye. (Sela)

4 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

Adier, Nyasaye e jakonyna; Ruoth owuon ema rita.

5 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

Mad chandruok lwor joma ketho nyinga mi ketgi diere; tiekgi, nikech in ja-adiera.

6 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

Abiro timoni misango gi chiwo mar (hera) abiro pako nyingi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech nyingi ber.

7 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.

Nikech oseresa kuom gik mathaga duto, mi omiyo wengena ongʼiyo wasika tir bangʼ loyogi.
