Psalms 54

1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. David kpa ha sia esi Zifitɔwo yi Saul gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe David meva ɣla ɖe mía dome oa?” Ɖem, O! Mawu, ɖem kple wò ŋkɔ, tsɔ wò ŋusẽ tso afia nam.

2 Hear my prayer, God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

O! Mawu, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàƒu to anyi ɖe nye numenyawo ŋu.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Amedzrowo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ti nye agbe yome, ame siwo mebua Mawu ɖe naneke me o. (Sela)

4 See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

Mawu nye nye xɔnametɔ vavã, Aƒetɔ lae nye ame si lém ɖe asi.

5 He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

Vɔ̃ negbugbɔ va ame siwo le ŋunye gblẽm la dzi, tsrɔ̃ wo le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.

6 I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

Masa lɔlɔ̃nuvɔsa na wò, O! Yehowa, makafu wò ŋkɔ, elabena enyo.

7 For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

Eɖem tso nye xaxawo katã me, eye nye ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si woɖu nye futɔwo dzii.
