Psalms 54

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Pamene anthu a ku Zifi anapita kwa Sauli ndipo anati, “Kodi Davide sakubisala pakati pathu.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, mwa dzina lanu; onetsani kuti ndine wosalakwa mwamphamvu yanu.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Mulungu mvetserani mawu a pakamwa panga.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Alendo akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufunafuna moyo wanga, anthu amene salabadira za Mulungu.

4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Zoonadi Mulungu ndi thandizo langa; Ambuye ndiye amene amandichirikiza ine.

5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

Lolani kuti choyipa chifike pa iwo amene amandichita chipongwe; mwa kukhulupirika kwanu awonongeni.

6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,

Ine ndidzapereka nsembe yaufulu kwa Inu; ndidzatamanda dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, pakuti ndi labwino.

7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!

Pakuti Iyeyo wandipulumutsa ku masautso anga onse, ndipo maso anga apenya kupambana kwa pa adani anga.
