To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1 Save me, O God, by thy name,
And judge me by thy strength.
Ee Mungu, kwa jina lako uniokoe, Na kwa uweza wako unifanyie hukumu.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Ee Mungu, uyasikie maombi yangu, Uyasikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.
3 For strangers are risen up against me,
And oppressors seek after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah.
Kwa maana wageni wamenishambulia; Watu watishao wananitafuta nafsi yangu; Hawakumweka Mungu mbele yao.
4 Behold, God is mine helper:
The Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Tazama, Mungu ndiye anayenisaidia; Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza nafsi yangu.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:
Cut them off in thy truth.
Atawarudishia adui zangu ubaya wao; Uwaangamize kwa uaminifu wako.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:
I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
Kwa ukunjufu wa moyo nitakutolea dhabihu; Ee Bwana, nitalishukuru jina lako, maana ni jema.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:
And mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
Kwa kuwa limeniokoa na kila taabu; Na jicho langu limeridhika Kwa kuwatazama adui zangu.
