Psalms 3
1 A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
Yahewh, maadui zangu wako wangapi! Ni wengi wamekuja kinyume na mimi.
2 Many are those who say of me, ‘There is no help for him in his God.’ (Selah)
Ni wengi wanaonisema, “Hakuna msaada wowote kutoka kwa Mungu kwa ajili yake.” (Selah)
3 But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
Bali wewe, Yahweh, u ngao yangu pande zote, utukufu wangu, na uniinuaye kichwa changu.
4 When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
Nampazia Yahweh sauti yangu, na yeye ananijibu kutoka katika mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
Nilijilaza chini na kusinzia; na niliamka, kwa kuwa Yahweh alinilinda.
6 I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
Sitaogopa kusanyiko la watu ambao wamejipanga kinyume na mimi pande zote.
7 Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
Inuka, Yahweh! Uniokoe, Mungu wangu! Kwa kuwa utawapiga maadui zangu wote kwenye taya zao; utayavunja meno ya waovu.
8 Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
Wokovu unatoka kwa Yahweh. Baraka zako ziwe juu ya watu wako.
