Psalms 54

1 Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

2 Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

4 Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.

Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

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

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

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, for it is good.

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

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

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