Zaburi 62

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwa Mungu peke yake nafsi yangu inapata pumziko; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.

For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

2 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.

For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

3 Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?

How long will you assault a man? you are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

4 Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.

They only took counsel to set at nothing mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

5 Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.

Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

6 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be 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: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

8 Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.

Hope in him, all you congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

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.

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

10 Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

11 Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

12 na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.

and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
