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.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. VaZefati pavakaenda kuna Sauro kundoti, “Ko, Dhavhidhi haana kuvanda pakati pedu here?” Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nezita renyu; ndiruramisirei nesimba renyu.

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

Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; teererai kumashoko omuromo wangu.

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

Vatorwa vanondirwisa; vanhu vane utsinye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasingazivi Mwari. Sera

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

Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

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

Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

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

Ndichakubayirai chipiriso chokungopa; ndicharumbidza zita renyu, imi Jehovha, nokuti rakanaka.

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

Nokuti akandirwira pamatambudziko angu ose, uye mukukunda, meso angu akatarisa vavengi vangu.
