Zaburi 54

1 Uniokoe, Mungu, kwa jina lako, na kwa nguvu zako unihukumu.

For the end, amongst Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.

2 Usikie maombi yangu, Mungu; uyategee sikio maneno ya mdomo wangu.

O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Kwa maana wageni wameinuka dhidi yangu, na watu wasio na huruma wanaitafuta roho yangu; nao hawakumuweka Mungu mbele yao. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

4 Tazama, Mungu ni msaidizi wangu; Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye.

For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

5 Naye atawalipizia uovu maadui zangu; katika uaminifu wako, uwaharibu!

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

6 Nitakutolea dhabihu kwa moyo mkunjufu; nitalishukuru jina lako, Yahwe, kwa maana ni jema.

I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

7 Kwa kuwa yeye ameniokoa katika kila shida; macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu yakiwa na ushindi.

For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
