Zaburi 54

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

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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 have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

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

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

He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

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

I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise 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 my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.
