Zaburi 54

1 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.

Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

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

O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

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

For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
