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.

Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.

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

Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.

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

Kwa maana wageni wameinuka dhidi yangu, na watu wasio na huruma wanaitafuta roho yangu; nao hawakumuweka Mungu mbele yao. (Selah)

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

Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

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

Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!

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

Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.

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

Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.
