Psalms 3
1 “A psalm of David, when he fled from before Abshalom his son.” Lord, how numerous are my assailants! how many, that 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 say of my soul, There is no help for him with God. (Selah)
Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up my head.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
4 With my voice I call unto the Lord, and he answereth me out of his holy mountain. (Selah)
Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord sustaineth me.
Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have placed themselves round about against me.
Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
7 Arise, O Lord, help me, O my God; for thou smitest all my enemies upon the cheek bone: the teeth of the wicked dost thou break.
Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
