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.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.

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

Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

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

Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.

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

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

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

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

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

Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

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

Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
