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.

Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak kòd yo. Yon sòm a David, lè Zifyen yo te vin di Saül: “Èske David pa kache pami nou?” Sove mwen, O Bondye, ak non Ou e fè vanjans mwen ak pouvwa Ou.

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

Koute lapriyè mwen, O Bondye. Prete zòrèy a pawòl a bouch mwen.

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

Paske etranje yo fin leve kont mwen. Moun vyolans yo te chache lavi mwen. Yo pa t mete Bondye devan yo.

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

Gade byen, Bondye se èd mwen. SENYÈ a se soutyen a nanm mwen.

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

Li va rekonpanse mal a lènmi mwen yo. Detwi yo nan fidelite Ou.

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

Avèk bòn volonte, mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou. Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, O SENYÈ, paske li bon.

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

Paske Li te delivre mwen nan tout twoub. Konsa, zye mwen te wè ak kè kontan, defèt lènmi m yo.
