Zaburi 54

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

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

O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention 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 have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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