Psalms 54

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. David kpa ha sia esi Zifitɔwo yi Saul gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe David meva ɣla ɖe mía dome oa?” Ɖem, O! Mawu, ɖem kple wò ŋkɔ, tsɔ wò ŋusẽ tso afia nam.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

O! Mawu, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàƒu to anyi ɖe nye numenyawo ŋu.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Amedzrowo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ti nye agbe yome, ame siwo mebua Mawu ɖe naneke me o. (Sela)

4 Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Mawu nye nye xɔnametɔ vavã, Aƒetɔ lae nye ame si lém ɖe asi.

5 Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

Vɔ̃ negbugbɔ va ame siwo le ŋunye gblẽm la dzi, tsrɔ̃ wo le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.

6 I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

Masa lɔlɔ̃nuvɔsa na wò, O! Yehowa, makafu wò ŋkɔ, elabena enyo.

7 For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!

Eɖem tso nye xaxawo katã me, eye nye ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si woɖu nye futɔwo dzii.
