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.

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.

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

Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.

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

Andũ ageni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire; nao andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matarũmbũyagia Ngai.

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

Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.

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

Cookereria andũ arĩa manjambagia ũũru wao; Wee maniine nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.

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

Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa kwĩyendera; nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, tondũ nĩ rĩega.

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

Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonoketie mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa mothe, na maitho makwa nĩmeyoneire gũtoorio gwa thũ ciakwa.
