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 Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

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

For thou makest him most blessed for ever: thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

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

For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

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

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

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

Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. The LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a device, which they are not able to perform.

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

For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.

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

Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
