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 fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
