Psalms 3
1 Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Alipomkimbia mwanawe Absalomu. Ee Bwana, tazama adui zangu walivyo wengi! Ni wengi kiasi gani wanaoinuka dhidi yangu!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
3 But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
4 I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
7 Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
