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.

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.

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

Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.

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

Andũ ageni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire; nao andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matarũmbũyagia Ngai.

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

Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.

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

Cookereria andũ arĩa manjambagia ũũru wao; Wee maniine nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.

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

Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa kwĩyendera; nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, tondũ nĩ rĩega.

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

Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonoketie mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa mothe, na maitho makwa nĩmeyoneire gũtoorio gwa thũ ciakwa.
