Psalms 54

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “David is in hiding among us”. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.

[Psalm lal David tukun mwet tuku Ziph me nu yorol Saul a fahk nu sel la David el wikwik oan in acn selos.] O God, moliyula ke ku lom; Aksukosokyeyu ke ku lulap lom!

2 Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend to the words of my mouth.

Lohng pre luk, O God; Porongo kas luk.

3 For proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not set God before them. (Selah)

Mwet inse fulat elos tuku in lainyu, Ac mwet sulallal elos srike in uniyuwi — Mwet su tia akfulatye God.

4 But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.

Tusruk God El mwet kasru luk. Leum El mwe loango luk.

5 Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.

Lela tuh God Elan lain mwet lokoalok luk ke ma koluk lalos sifacna. El ac fah kunauselosla mweyen El oaru.

6 Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;

Nga ac fah engan in oru mwe kisa nu sum, O LEUM GOD; Nga fah sot kulo nu sum Mweyen kom wo.

7 for from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.

Tuh kom moliyula liki ongoiya luk nukewa, Ac nga liye ke mwet lokoalok luk elos kutangyukla.
