Psalms 54

1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda tango bato ya Zifi bayaki koyebisa Saulo: « Davidi abombami kati na biso. » Oh Nzambe, bikisa ngai na nzela ya Kombo na Yo, longisa ngai na nzela ya nguya na Yo.

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

Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, yoka maloba ya monoko na ngai.

3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

Bapaya batelemi mpo na kobundisa ngai; mpe bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai, batalelaka Nzambe te.

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

Tala, Nzambe azali lisungi na ngai, Nkolo azali eyekamelo na ngai.

5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

Tika ete akweyisela bayini na ngai mabe! Kati na boyengebene na Yo, bebisa bango.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

Nakobonzela Yo mbeka na motema malamu, nakokumisa Kombo na Yo, Oh Yawe, pamba te ozali malamu.

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

Okangoli ngai na pasi nyonso; mpe miso na ngai etali lokola molongi ya banguna na ngai.
