Zaburi 54

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

For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

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

O God, hear my prayer; give ear 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 are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

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

He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

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

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

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

For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
