Zaburi 62
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwa Mungu peke yake nafsi yangu inapata pumziko; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?
How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4 Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.
Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)
5 Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7 Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.
In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8 Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)
9 Binadamu wa ngazi ya chini ni pumzi tu, nao wa ngazi ya juu ni uongo tu; wakipimwa kwenye mizani, si chochote; wote kwa pamoja ni pumzi tu.
Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10 Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.
Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11 Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,
Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12 na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
