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.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
2 Namlilia Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, Mungu atimizaye makusudi yake kwangu.
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
3 Hutumana kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, akiwakemea wale wanaonifuatilia vikali; Mungu huutuma upendo wake na uaminifu wake.
He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth 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.
My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears 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; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
6 Waliitegea miguu yangu nyavu, nikainamishwa chini na dhiki. Wamechimba shimo katika njia yangu, lakini wametumbukia humo wao wenyewe.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. (Selah)
7 Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Amka, nafsi yangu! Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
9 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, waenea hadi mbinguni, uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For thy mercy [is] great unto 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: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
