Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are mine adversaries increased! many are they 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 there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
4 I cry unto the LORD with my voice, and he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; 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 the people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
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.
