Zaburi 62

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

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from 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: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

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

How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

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

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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

But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

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

For he is my God and my saviour: he is 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.

Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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 vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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

Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
