Psalms 54

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

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 God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.

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

3 For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)

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

4 But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!

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

5 The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.

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

6 I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.

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

7 For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.

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