Psalms 54

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.

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

Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

3 For strangers [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful 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 a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

5 He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

6 I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

7 For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.

Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
