Psalm 54

1 [Psalm lal David tukun mwet tuku Ziph me nu yorol Saul a fahk nu sel la David el wikwik oan in acn selos.] O God, moliyula ke ku lom; Aksukosokyeyu ke ku lulap lom!

For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

2 Lohng pre luk, O God; Porongo kas luk.

God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.

3 Mwet inse fulat elos tuku in lainyu, Ac mwet sulallal elos srike in uniyuwi — Mwet su tia akfulatye God.

For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)

4 Tusruk God El mwet kasru luk. Leum El mwe loango luk.

But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!

5 Lela tuh God Elan lain mwet lokoalok luk ke ma koluk lalos sifacna. El ac fah kunauselosla mweyen El oaru.

The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.

6 Nga ac fah engan in oru mwe kisa nu sum, O LEUM GOD; Nga fah sot kulo nu sum Mweyen kom wo.

I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.

7 Tuh kom moliyula liki ongoiya luk nukewa, Ac nga liye ke mwet lokoalok luk elos kutangyukla.

For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.
