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.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
