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!

MAIN Kot, kom kotin jauaj a ia ki mar omui, o kotin kajanjaleda ai pun ki omui manaman.

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

Main Kot, kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o kotin mani lokaia en au i.

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

Pwe men wai kai palian ia, o me weit akan majamajan maur i, o re jota weweid mon Kot.

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

Kilan, Kot jauaj pa i, leowa kin kolekol nen i.

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

A pan kotin depuk on ai imwintiti kan ar me jued. Kom kotin kawe ir ala ki omui melel.

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

I ap pan wiai on komui mairon kaperen, o kapina mar omui, pwe a me mau.

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

Pwe a kotin dore ia la jan nan ai apwal akan karoj, o maj ai peren kidar ai imwintiti kan.
