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.

Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a Sififoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid abɛhinta wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi di mʼasɛm ma me.

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

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

Ahɔhoɔ reto ahyɛ me so. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ repɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

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

Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me ɔboafoɔ; Awurade ne me hwɛfoɔ.

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

Ma mmusuo nkyim mmra wɔn a wɔdi me ho nsekuro so; wo nokorɛdie mu, sɛe wɔn.

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

Mɛfiri me pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo; Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ.

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

Woagye me afiri me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahunu nkonimdie wɔ mʼatamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoeɛ.
