< 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 direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak kòd yo. Yon sòm a David, lè Zifyen yo te vin di Saül: “Èske David pa kache pami nou?” Sove mwen, O Bondye, ak non Ou e fè vanjans mwen ak pouvwa Ou.
2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Koute lapriyè mwen, O Bondye. Prete zòrèy a pawòl a 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 etranje yo fin leve kont mwen. Moun vyolans yo te chache lavi mwen. Yo pa t mete Bondye devan yo.
4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
Gade byen, Bondye se èd mwen. SENYÈ a se soutyen a nanm mwen.
5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
Li va rekonpanse mal a lènmi mwen yo. Detwi yo nan fidelite Ou.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
Avèk bòn volonte, mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou. Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, O SENYÈ, paske li bon.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
Paske Li te delivre mwen nan tout twoub. Konsa, zye mwen te wè ak kè kontan, defèt lènmi m yo.
