Zaburi 54

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

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

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

Hear my prayer, 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 strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth.

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

With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
