< 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.
Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.
3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)
Kwa maana wageni wameinuka dhidi yangu, na watu wasio na huruma wanaitafuta roho yangu; nao hawakumuweka Mungu mbele yao. (Selah)
4 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.
Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.
5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.
Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!
6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.
Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.
