< 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.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho amaZifi aya kuSawuli afika athi, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga yini phakathi kwethu?” Ngisindisa, awu Nkulunkulu, ngebizo lakho; ngigeza ecaleni ngamandla akho.
2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela amazwi omlomo wami.
3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)
Ngihlaselwa ngabantu engingabaziyo; izikliwi zifuna impilo yami abantu abangamnanzanga uNkulunkulu.
4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu ulusizo lwami; uThixo nguye ongisizayo.
5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
Akuthi ububi bubuyele phezu kwalabo abangigconayo; ngokuthembeka kwakho babhubhise.
6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo owomnikelo wokuzithandela; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho, Thixo, ngoba lihle.
7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
Ngoba ingikhulule kuzozonke inhlupheko zami, lamehlo ami akubonile ukunqotshwa kwezitha zami.
