Zaburi 54

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

To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

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

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear 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 men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

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

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

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

Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

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

Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
