Psalms 54

1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a Sififoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid abɛhinta wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi di mʼasɛm ma me.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

Ahɔhoɔ reto ahyɛ me so. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ repɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

4 Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me ɔboafoɔ; Awurade ne me hwɛfoɔ.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Ma mmusuo nkyim mmra wɔn a wɔdi me ho nsekuro so; wo nokorɛdie mu, sɛe wɔn.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

Mɛfiri me pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo; Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Woagye me afiri me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahunu nkonimdie wɔ mʼatamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoeɛ.
