< Psalms 54 >
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
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, hear my prayer; give ear 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 are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)
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 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
Men, Bondye ap vin ede m'. Seyè a ap pran defans mwen.
5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
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 unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, 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 he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
Ou delivre m' anba tray mwen te ye a; ou fè m' wè lènmi m' yo pèdi batay la.
