Psalms 54

1 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.

Nkulunkulu, ngisindisa ngebizo lakho, ungahlulele ngamandla akho.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Nkulunkulu, zwana umkhuleko wami, ubeke indlebe emazwini omlomo wami.

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

Ngoba abemzini bangivukele, abalolunya badinga umphefumulo wami, kababekanga uNkulunkulu phambi kwabo. (Sela)

4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.

Khangela, uNkulunkulu ungumsizi wami; iNkosi ilalabo abasekela umphefumulo wami.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

Izaphindisela ububi ezitheni zami. Baqume ngeqiniso lakho.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

Ngizanikela umhlatshelo kuwe ngokukhululeka, ngizadumisa ibizo lakho, Nkosi, ngoba lihle.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.

Ngoba ungikhulule ekuhluphekeni konke, lelihlo lami libonile isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
