Psalms 54

1 To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us? O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?

Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak kòd yo. Yon sòm a David, lè Zifyen yo te vin di Saül: “Èske David pa kache pami nou?” Sove mwen, O Bondye, ak non Ou e fè vanjans mwen ak pouvwa Ou.

2 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;

Koute lapriyè mwen, O Bondye. Prete zòrèy a pawòl a bouch mwen.

3 For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Paske etranje yo fin leve kont mwen. Moun vyolans yo te chache lavi mwen. Yo pa t mete Bondye devan yo.

4 Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life;

Gade byen, Bondye se èd mwen. SENYÈ a se soutyen a nanm mwen.

5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

Li va rekonpanse mal a lènmi mwen yo. Detwi yo nan fidelite Ou.

6 With a freewill-offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;

Avèk bòn volonte, mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou. Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, O SENYÈ, paske li bon.

7 For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me, —And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.

Paske Li te delivre mwen nan tout twoub. Konsa, zye mwen te wè ak kè kontan, defèt lènmi m yo.
