Zaburi 3
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Alipomkimbia mwanawe Absalomu. Ee Bwana, tazama adui zangu walivyo wengi! Ni wengi kiasi gani wanaoinuka dhidi yangu!
A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
2 Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
4 Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
6 Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
7 Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
8 Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
