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 his son Absalom. How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
2 Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
Many are those who say of me, ‘There is no help for him in his God.’ (Selah)
3 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
4 Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
5 Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
6 Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
7 Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
