Psalms 86

1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.

2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.

Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.

3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.

4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.

5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.

Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.

6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.

7 In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.

Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.

8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.

Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.

9 All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.

Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.

10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.

Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.

11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.

Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.

12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.

Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.

13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu kwangu; umeniokoa kutoka kwenye vilindi vya kaburi. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

Ee Mungu, wenye majivuno wananishambulia; kundi la watu wakatili linatafuta uhai wangu: watu wasiokuheshimu wewe.

15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.

16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.

Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.

17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!

Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
