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.

Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a Sififoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid abɛhinta wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi di mʼasɛm ma me.

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

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

Ahɔhoɔ reto ahyɛ me so. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ repɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

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

Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me ɔboafoɔ; Awurade ne me hwɛfoɔ.

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

Ma mmusuo nkyim mmra wɔn a wɔdi me ho nsekuro so; wo nokorɛdie mu, sɛe wɔn.

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

Mɛfiri me pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo; Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ.

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

Woagye me afiri me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahunu nkonimdie wɔ mʼatamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoeɛ.
