Psalms 54

1 God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

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

2 God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

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

3 because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

4 But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

5 He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

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

6 Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

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

7 you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.

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