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.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

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

Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

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

Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

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

Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

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

Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

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

Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

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

Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
