Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
Yahewh, maadui zangu wako wangapi! Ni wengi wamekuja kinyume na mimi.
2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
Ni wengi wanaonisema, “Hakuna msaada wowote kutoka kwa Mungu kwa ajili yake.” (Selah)
3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Bali wewe, Yahweh, u ngao yangu pande zote, utukufu wangu, na uniinuaye kichwa changu.
4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
Nampazia Yahweh sauti yangu, na yeye ananijibu kutoka katika mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Nilijilaza chini na kusinzia; na niliamka, kwa kuwa Yahweh alinilinda.
6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
Sitaogopa kusanyiko la watu ambao wamejipanga kinyume na mimi pande zote.
7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Inuka, Yahweh! Uniokoe, Mungu wangu! Kwa kuwa utawapiga maadui zangu wote kwenye taya zao; utayavunja meno ya waovu.
8 Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Wokovu unatoka kwa Yahweh. Baraka zako ziwe juu ya watu wako.
