< 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 Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is 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; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?
How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
4 Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.
They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)
5 Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.
Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
6 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.
He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
7 Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.
With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8 Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.
Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (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.
Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.
10 Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.
Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
11 Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,
Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.
12 na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
