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.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

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

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

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

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

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

He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

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

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

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

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
