Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate 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. Listen 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. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

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

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

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

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

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

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

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