< Zaburi 54 >
1 Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.
2 Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.
O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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 terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)
4 Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.
Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5 Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!
Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.
6 Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.
I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,
7 Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.
For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
