Zaburi 54

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

For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, ‘David is in hiding among us’. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.

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

Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend 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 proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not set God before them. (Selah)

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

But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.

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

Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.

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

Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;

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

for from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.
