< Psalms 54 >
1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Pamene anthu a ku Zifi anapita kwa Sauli ndipo anati, “Kodi Davide sakubisala pakati pathu.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, mwa dzina lanu; onetsani kuti ndine wosalakwa mwamphamvu yanu.
2 O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.
Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Mulungu mvetserani mawu a pakamwa panga.
3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)
Alendo akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufunafuna moyo wanga, anthu amene salabadira za Mulungu.
4 For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
Zoonadi Mulungu ndi thandizo langa; Ambuye ndiye amene amandichirikiza ine.
5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.
Lolani kuti choyipa chifike pa iwo amene amandichita chipongwe; mwa kukhulupirika kwanu awonongeni.
6 I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
Ine ndidzapereka nsembe yaufulu kwa Inu; ndidzatamanda dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, pakuti ndi labwino.
7 For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Pakuti Iyeyo wandipulumutsa ku masautso anga onse, ndipo maso anga apenya kupambana kwa pa adani anga.
