Psalms 54

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho amaZifi aya kuSawuli afika athi, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga yini phakathi kwethu?” Ngisindisa, awu Nkulunkulu, ngebizo lakho; ngigeza ecaleni ngamandla akho.

2 O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela amazwi omlomo wami.

3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

Ngihlaselwa ngabantu engingabaziyo; izikliwi zifuna impilo yami abantu abangamnanzanga uNkulunkulu.

4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu ulusizo lwami; uThixo nguye ongisizayo.

5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

Akuthi ububi bubuyele phezu kwalabo abangigconayo; ngokuthembeka kwakho babhubhise.

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo owomnikelo wokuzithandela; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho, Thixo, ngoba lihle.

7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

Ngoba ingikhulule kuzozonke inhlupheko zami, lamehlo ami akubonile ukunqotshwa kwezitha zami.
