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 mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.

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

Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

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

Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.

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

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

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

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

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

Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

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

Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
