Psalms 54

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi kayimbidila mu mu thangu basi Zifi bayiza kamba Sawuli ti: “Davidi kuidi beto” kasuamini. Wuphukisa, Nzambi ama, mu dizina diaku; wundungisa mu lulendo luaku.

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

Wa lusambulu luama, a Nzambi. Dimba mambu ma munuꞌama.

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

Zinzenza zilembo nduanisa ayi batu ba tsita balembo tombi luzingu luama. Batu bankambu kinzikanga Nzambi.

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

Bukiedika, Nzambi niandi nsadisi ama. Yave niandi wukukhindisanga.

5 He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth.

Bika mambimbi mabuila bobo beti kuphueza; Mu kikhuikizi kiaku, wuba bunga.

6 With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

Ndiela kutambikanga makaba mu ntima wu luzolo; ndiela zitisa dizina diaku, a Yave. Bila didi dimboti.

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

Bila niandi wukhula mu ziphasi ziama zioso ayi meso mama mamona mbedoso yi bobo beti kundenda.
