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.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi kayimbidila mu mu thangu basi Zifi bayiza kamba Sawuli ti: “Davidi kuidi beto” kasuamini. Wuphukisa, Nzambi ama, mu dizina diaku; wundungisa mu lulendo luaku.

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

Wa lusambulu luama, a Nzambi. Dimba mambu ma munuꞌama.

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

Zinzenza zilembo nduanisa ayi batu ba tsita balembo tombi luzingu luama. Batu bankambu kinzikanga Nzambi.

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

Bukiedika, Nzambi niandi nsadisi ama. Yave niandi wukukhindisanga.

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

Bika mambimbi mabuila bobo beti kuphueza; Mu kikhuikizi kiaku, wuba bunga.

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

Ndiela kutambikanga makaba mu ntima wu luzolo; ndiela zitisa dizina diaku, a Yave. Bila didi dimboti.

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

Bila niandi wukhula mu ziphasi ziama zioso ayi meso mama mamona mbedoso yi bobo beti kundenda.
