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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] Jehovah, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
2 Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
Many there are who 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 you, Jehovah, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
I cried out to Jehovah with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
I lay down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
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 you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
