< Psalms 70 >
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.
Uniokoe, Mungu! Yahwe, njoo haraka na unisaidie mimi.
2 Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.
Wale wajaribuo kuchukua uhai wangu waaibishwe na kufedheheshwa; warudishwe nyuma na wasiheshimiwe, wale wafurahiao katika maumivu yangu.
3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'
Warudishwe nyuma kwa sababu ya aibu yao, wale wasemao, “Aha, aha.”
4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be magnified.'
Wale wakutafutao wafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; wale waupendao wokovu wako siku zote waseme, “Mungu asifiwe.”
5 But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
Lakini mimi ni maskini na muhitaji; harakisha kwangu, Mungu; wewe ni msaada wangu nawe huniokoa mimi. Yahwe, usichelewe.
