Zaburi 57
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Utenzi wa Daudi. Baada ya kumponyoka Sauli pangoni. Unihurumie, Ee Mungu, unihurumie, kwa maana nafsi yangu inakukimbilia. Chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako nitakimbilia mpaka maafa yapite.
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
2 Namlilia Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, Mungu atimizaye makusudi yake kwangu.
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
3 Hutumana kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, akiwakemea wale wanaonifuatilia vikali; Mungu huutuma upendo wake na uaminifu wake.
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
4 Niko katikati ya simba, nimelala katikati ya wanyama wenye njaa kuu: watu ambao meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, ambao ndimi zao ni panga kali.
And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Waliitegea miguu yangu nyavu, nikainamishwa chini na dhiki. Wamechimba shimo katika njia yangu, lakini wametumbukia humo wao wenyewe.
They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
7 Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
8 Amka, nafsi yangu! Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
9 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
10 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, waenea hadi mbinguni, uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu mbinguni, utukufu wako na uwe duniani pote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
