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.

Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.

2 O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.

Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

Kwa maana wageni wameinuka dhidi yangu, na watu wasio na huruma wanaitafuta roho yangu; nao hawakumuweka Mungu mbele yao. (Selah)

4 For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!

6 I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.

7 For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.
