Psalm 54
For the director of music. To be played on stringed instruments. A maskil of David when the men from Ziph had gone to Saul. They had said, “Isn’t David hiding among us?”
1God, save me by your power.
Set me free by your might.
2God, hear my prayer.
Listen to what I’m saying.
3Enemies who are proud are attacking me.
Mean people are trying to kill me.
They don’t care about God.
4But I know that God helps me.
The Lord is the one who keeps me going.
5My enemies tell lies about me.
Do to them the evil things they planned against me.
God, be faithful and destroy them.
6I will sacrifice an offering to you
just because I choose to.
Lord, I will praise your name
because it is good.
7You have saved me from all my troubles.
With my own eyes I have seen you win the battle over my enemies.
Zaburi 54
Kuomba Ulinzi Wa Mungu Kutokana Na Adui
Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?”
154:1 1Sam 24:15; 20:1; 2Nya 20:6Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako,
unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.
254:2 Za 4:1; 5:1; 55:1Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu,
usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.
354:3 Za 36:1; 86:14; 18:48; 140:1, 4, 11; 1Sam 20:1Wageni wananishambulia,
watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu,
watu wasiomjali Mungu.
454:4 1Nya 5:20; Za 20:2; 18:35; Isa 41:10; Ebr 13:6; Rum 8:31, 32Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu,
Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.
554:5 Kum 32:35; Isa 42:3; Mit 24:12; Za 89:49; 94:23Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia,
kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.
654:6 Law 7:12, 16; Ezr 1:4; Za 27:6; 44:8; 52:9; 138:2; 142:7; 145:1; 69:30Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari;
Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako
kwa kuwa ni vyema.
7Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote,
na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
