Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho amaZifi aya kuSawuli afika athi, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga yini phakathi kwethu?” Ngisindisa, awu Nkulunkulu, ngebizo lakho; ngigeza ecaleni ngamandla akho.

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

Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela amazwi omlomo wami.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Ngihlaselwa ngabantu engingabaziyo; izikliwi zifuna impilo yami abantu abangamnanzanga uNkulunkulu.

4 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu ulusizo lwami; uThixo nguye ongisizayo.

5 He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

Akuthi ububi bubuyele phezu kwalabo abangigconayo; ngokuthembeka kwakho babhubhise.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo owomnikelo wokuzithandela; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho, Thixo, ngoba lihle.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.

Ngoba ingikhulule kuzozonke inhlupheko zami, lamehlo ami akubonile ukunqotshwa kwezitha zami.
