< Psalms 54 >
1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.
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 are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)
Bapaya batelemi mpo na kobundisa ngai; mpe bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai, batalelaka Nzambe te.
4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.
Tala, Nzambe azali lisungi na ngai, Nkolo azali eyekamelo na ngai.
5 He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.
Tika ete akweyisela bayini na ngai mabe! Kati na boyengebene na Yo, bebisa bango.
6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
Nakobonzela Yo mbeka na motema malamu, nakokumisa Kombo na Yo, Oh Yawe, pamba te ozali malamu.
7 For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
Okangoli ngai na pasi nyonso; mpe miso na ngai etali lokola molongi ya banguna na ngai.
