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.

[Psalm lal David tukun mwet tuku Ziph me nu yorol Saul a fahk nu sel la David el wikwik oan in acn selos.] O God, moliyula ke ku lom; Aksukosokyeyu ke ku lulap lom!

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

Lohng pre luk, O God; Porongo kas luk.

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

Mwet inse fulat elos tuku in lainyu, Ac mwet sulallal elos srike in uniyuwi — Mwet su tia akfulatye God.

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

Tusruk God El mwet kasru luk. Leum El mwe loango luk.

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

Lela tuh God Elan lain mwet lokoalok luk ke ma koluk lalos sifacna. El ac fah kunauselosla mweyen El oaru.

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

Nga ac fah engan in oru mwe kisa nu sum, O LEUM GOD; Nga fah sot kulo nu sum Mweyen kom wo.

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

Tuh kom moliyula liki ongoiya luk nukewa, Ac nga liye ke mwet lokoalok luk elos kutangyukla.
