Psalms 54

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

Kuom jatend wer. Wer miwero gi thumbe man-gi waya. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane jo-Zif osedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Donge Daudi ma imanyo opondo e gwengʼwa?” Resa gi nyingi, yaye Nyasaye; ngʼadna bura kare gi tekoni.

2 O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

Winj lamona, yaye Nyasaye; chik iti ne weche mawuok e dhoga.

3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

Jopinje moko monja; acheje kawo ngimana, gin joma ok dew Nyasaye. (Sela)

4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

Adier, Nyasaye e jakonyna; Ruoth owuon ema rita.

5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

Mad chandruok lwor joma ketho nyinga mi ketgi diere; tiekgi, nikech in ja-adiera.

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

Abiro timoni misango gi chiwo mar (hera) abiro pako nyingi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech nyingi ber.

7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

Nikech oseresa kuom gik mathaga duto, mi omiyo wengena ongʼiyo wasika tir bangʼ loyogi.
