Zaburi 54

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

4 Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

Look, God is my helper. Jehovah is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Jehovah, for it is good.

7 Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
