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.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi kayimbidila mu mu thangu basi Zifi bayiza kamba Sawuli ti: “Davidi kuidi beto” kasuamini. Wuphukisa, Nzambi ama, mu dizina diaku; wundungisa mu lulendo luaku.

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

Wa lusambulu luama, a Nzambi. Dimba mambu ma munuꞌama.

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

Zinzenza zilembo nduanisa ayi batu ba tsita balembo tombi luzingu luama. Batu bankambu kinzikanga Nzambi.

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

Bukiedika, Nzambi niandi nsadisi ama. Yave niandi wukukhindisanga.

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

Bika mambimbi mabuila bobo beti kuphueza; Mu kikhuikizi kiaku, wuba bunga.

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

Ndiela kutambikanga makaba mu ntima wu luzolo; ndiela zitisa dizina diaku, a Yave. Bila didi dimboti.

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

Bila niandi wukhula mu ziphasi ziama zioso ayi meso mama mamona mbedoso yi bobo beti kundenda.
