Zaburi 21

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The king rejoiceth in thy strength, O LORD! Yea, he doth greatly exult in thy protection.

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

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not denied him the request of his lips. (Pause)

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

Yea, thou hast met him with rich blessings, Thou hast placed a crown of pure gold upon his head.

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

He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him; Even long life, enduring for ever.

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

Great is his glory through thine aid; Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

Thou hast made him blessed for evermore; Thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.

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

For the king trusteth in the LORD; And through the goodness of the Most High he shall never fall.

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

Thy hand shall overtake all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake them that hate thee.

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

Thou wilt make them like a burning oven in the time of thine anger; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

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

Their offspring shalt thou destroy from the earth, And their posterity from the sons of men.

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

For they spread a net of mischief against thee; They devised plots against thee, but they did not prevail.

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

Therefore thou wilt cause them to turn their backs; Thou wilt make ready thine arrows upon the strings against them.

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

Exalt thyself, O LORD! by thy strength! So will we sing, and praise thy mighty deeds.
