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.

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun peyi Zif yo te al di Sayil men David kache lakay yo. Bondye, delivre m' non avèk pouvwa ou! Fè m' jistis avèk fòs kouraj ou!

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

Bondye, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Panche zòrèy ou pou tande pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch mwen!

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

Paske gen yon seri moun awogan ki leve dèyè m', yon bann mechan ki soti pou touye m'! Yo pa menm chonje si gen Bondye!

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

Men, Bondye ap vin ede m'. Seyè a ap pran defans mwen.

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

L'ap fè mechanste moun ki pa vle wè m' yo tonbe sou tèt yo; l'ap fini nèt ak yo paske l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.

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

Seyè, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou ak kè kontan, m'a fè lwanj ou, paske ou bon pou mwen.

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

Ou delivre m' anba tray mwen te ye a; ou fè m' wè lènmi m' yo pèdi batay la.
