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.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. VaZefati pavakaenda kuna Sauro kundoti, “Ko, Dhavhidhi haana kuvanda pakati pedu here?” Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nezita renyu; ndiruramisirei nesimba renyu.

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

Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; teererai kumashoko omuromo wangu.

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

Vatorwa vanondirwisa; vanhu vane utsinye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasingazivi Mwari. Sera

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

Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

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

Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

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

Ndichakubayirai chipiriso chokungopa; ndicharumbidza zita renyu, imi Jehovha, nokuti rakanaka.

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

Nokuti akandirwira pamatambudziko angu ose, uye mukukunda, meso angu akatarisa vavengi vangu.
