< Psalms 57 >

1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
Unihurumie, Mungu, unihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakukimbilia wewe mpaka matatizo haya yaishe. Ninakaa chini ya mbawa za zako kwa ajili ya ulinzi mpaka huu uharibifu utakapoisha.
2 I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
Nitakulilia Mungu uliye hai, kwa Mungu, afanyaye mambo yote kwa ajili yangu.
3 He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
Yeye atatuma msaada kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, ana hasira na wale wanaonishambulia. (Selah) Mungu atanitumia upendo wake mwema na uaminifu wake.
4 My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.
Uhai wangu uko katikati ya simba; niko katikati ya wale walio tayari kunila. Niko katikati ya watu ambao meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, na ambao ndimi zao ni kali kama upanga.
5 Be exalted Above the Heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako uwe juu ya nchi yote.
6 A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
Wao walisambaza nje wavu kwa ajili ya miguu yangu; nilikuwa na shida sana. Walichimba shimo mbele yangu. Wao wenyewe wameangukia katikati ya shimo! (Selah)
7 Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
Moyo wangu umeponywa, Mungu, moyo wangu umeponywa, nitaimba, ndiyo, nitaimba sifa.
8 Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
Inuka, moyo wa thamani; inuka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
9 I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
Nitakushukuru wewe, Bwana, kati ya watu; Kati ya mataifa nitakuimbia sifa.
10 For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
Maana upendo wako usiokwisha, huzifikia mbingu; na uaminifu wako mawinguni.
11 Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu; na utukufu wako uinuliwe juu ya nchi yote.
