< 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.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)
Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.
4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.
Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.
Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.
Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
