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?

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 sayings of my mouth;

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

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

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

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

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

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

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

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

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

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

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