Zaburi 54

1 Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Kwa maana wageni wameinuka dhidi yangu, na watu wasio na huruma wanaitafuta roho yangu; nao hawakumuweka Mungu mbele yao. (Selah)

For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

4 Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!

He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.

For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
