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. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
Many there are that 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, O LORD, 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 I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of 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, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
