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.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔbɔ no sanku so. Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no bere a Sififo kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Dawid abehintaw wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao, Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi bu me bem.

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

Ao, Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

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

Ahɔho retow ahyɛ me so. Atirimɔdenfo rehwehwɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

4 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me boafo; Awurade ne me hwɛfo.

5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

Ma mmusu nkyim mmra wɔn a wodi me ho nseku no so; wo nokwaredi mu, sɛe wɔn.

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

Mefi me pɛ mu abɔ afɔre ama wo; Awurade, meyi wo din ayɛ, efisɛ eye.

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

Woagye me afi me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahu nkonimdi wɔ mʼatamfo so.
