Psalms 57
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you. And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.
Unihurumie, Mungu, unihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakukimbilia wewe mpaka matatizo haya yaishe. Ninakaa chini ya mbawa za zako kwa ajili ya ulinzi mpaka huu uharibifu utakapoisha.
2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.
Nitakulilia Mungu uliye hai, kwa Mungu, afanyaye mambo yote kwa ajili yangu.
3 He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.
Yeye atatuma msaada kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, ana hasira na wale wanaonishambulia. (Selah) Mungu atanitumia upendo wake mwema na uaminifu wake.
4 And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
Uhai wangu uko katikati ya simba; niko katikati ya wale walio tayari kunila. Niko katikati ya watu ambao meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, na ambao ndimi zao ni kali kama upanga.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako uwe juu ya nchi yote.
6 They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.
Wao walisambaza nje wavu kwa ajili ya miguu yangu; nilikuwa na shida sana. Walichimba shimo mbele yangu. Wao wenyewe wameangukia katikati ya shimo! (Selah)
7 My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.
Moyo wangu umeponywa, Mungu, moyo wangu umeponywa, nitaimba, ndiyo, nitaimba sifa.
8 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.
Inuka, moyo wa thamani; inuka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
9 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. I will compose a psalm to you among the nations.
Nitakushukuru wewe, Bwana, kati ya watu; Kati ya mataifa nitakuimbia sifa.
10 For your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
Maana upendo wako usiokwisha, huzifikia mbingu; na uaminifu wako mawinguni.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu; na utukufu wako uinuliwe juu ya nchi yote.
