Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.

Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.

Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
