Psalms 54

1 “For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments A psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?” Save me, O God! by thy name, And by thy strength defend my cause!

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 words of my mouth!

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

3 For enemies have risen up against me, And oppressors seek my life; They have not set God before their eyes. (Pause)

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

4 Behold! God is my helper; The Lord is the support of my life.

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

5 He will repay evil to my enemies; For thy truth's sake, O God! cut them off!

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

6 With a willing heart will I sacrifice to thee; I will praise thy name, O LORD! for it is good;

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

7 For thou hast delivered me from all trouble, So that my eye hath looked with joy upon my enemies!

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