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.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda tango bato ya Zifi bayaki koyebisa Saulo: « Davidi abombami kati na biso. » Oh Nzambe, bikisa ngai na nzela ya Kombo na Yo, longisa ngai na nzela ya nguya na Yo.

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

Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, yoka maloba ya monoko na ngai.

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

Bapaya batelemi mpo na kobundisa ngai; mpe bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai, batalelaka Nzambe te.

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

Tala, Nzambe azali lisungi na ngai, Nkolo azali eyekamelo na ngai.

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

Tika ete akweyisela bayini na ngai mabe! Kati na boyengebene na Yo, bebisa bango.

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

Nakobonzela Yo mbeka na motema malamu, nakokumisa Kombo na Yo, Oh Yawe, pamba te ozali malamu.

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

Okangoli ngai na pasi nyonso; mpe miso na ngai etali lokola molongi ya banguna na ngai.
