Psalms 86

1 A Prayer. David’s. Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

Sikia, Ee Yahwe, na unijibu, kwa kuwa ni maskini na mnyonge.

2 O guard my life, For, a man of lovingkindness, am I, —Save thy servant, O thou my God, [Thy servant] who trusteth in thee;

Unilinde, maana mimi ni mwaminifu; Mungu wangu, umuokoe mtumishi wako anayekuamini.

3 Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;

Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.

Umfurahishe mtumishi wako, maana ni kwako, Bwana, ninaomba.

5 For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

Wewe, Bwana, ni mwema, na uko tayari kusamehe, na huonesha huruma kubwa kwa wale wanao kulilia wewe.

6 Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

Yahwe, sikiliza maombi yangu; sikia sauti ya ombi langu.

7 In the day of my distress, will I call upon thee, For thou wilt answer me.

Katika siku ya shida ninakuita wewe, kwa maana utanijibu.

8 There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

Katikati ya miungu hakuna wa kufananishwa na wewe, Bwana. Hakuna matendo kama matendo yako.

9 All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.

Mataifa yote ambayo umeyafanya yatakuja kwako na kusujudu mbele zako, Bwana. nao wataliheshimu jina lako.

10 For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.

Kwa kuwa wewe ni mkuu na utendaye mambo ya ajabu; wewe pekee ndiwe Mungu.

11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.

Unifundishe njia zako, Yahwe. Kisha nitatembea katika kweli yako. Unifanye kukuheshimu wewe.

12 I will give thee thanks, Adonay, my God, with all my heart, And will glorify thy Name unto times age-abiding.

Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wangu wote; nitalitukuza jina lako milele.

13 For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath. (Sheol h7585)

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu kwangu; wewe umeokoa uhai wangu kutoka chini kuzimuni. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the insolent, have arisen against me, And, the assembly of tyrants, have sought my life, And have not set thee before them.

Ee Mungu, wenye kiburi wameinuka dhidi yangu. Kundi la watu wenye vurugu wanautafuta uhai wangu. Nao hawakuheshimu wewe.

15 But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.

Lakini wewe, Bwana, ni mwenye huruma na neema, hukasiliki haraka, na mwingi katika uaminifu wa agano lako na kweli.

16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, —Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

Unigeukie na unihurumie; mpe nguvu zako mtumishi wako; umuokoe mwana wa mjakazi wako.

17 Perform with me a token for good, —That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.

Unioneshe ishara ya fadhila zako. Kisha wale wanichukiao wataziona na kuaibishwa kwa sababu yako; Yahwe, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
