Zaburi 21

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, mfalme huzifurahia nguvu zako. Tazama jinsi ilivyo kuu furaha yake kwa ushindi unaompa!

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

2 Umempa haja ya moyo wake na hukumzuilia maombi ya midomo yake.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Ulimkaribisha kwa baraka tele na kumvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.

For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

4 Alikuomba maisha, nawe ukampa, wingi wa siku milele na milele.

He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

5 Kutokana na ushindi uliompa, utukufu wake ni mkubwa, umeweka juu yake fahari na utukufu.

His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

6 Hakika umempa baraka za milele, umemfanya awe na furaha kwa shangwe ya uwepo wako.

For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

7 Kwa kuwa mfalme anamtumaini Bwana; kwa upendo usiokoma wa Aliye Juu Sana hatatikiswa.

For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

8 Mkono wako utawashika adui zako wote, mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata adui zako.

Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

9 Wakati utakapojitokeza utawafanya kama tanuru ya moto. Katika ghadhabu yake Bwana atawameza, moto wake utawateketeza.

You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

10 Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 Ingawa watapanga mabaya dhidi yako na kutunga hila, hawawezi kufanikiwa,

For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

12 kwa kuwa utawafanya wakimbie utakapowalenga usoni pao kwa mshale kutoka kwenye upinde wako.

Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

13 Ee Bwana, utukuzwe katika nguvu zako, tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.

Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
