Zaburi 62

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

Truly my soul waits upon God: 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 defence; 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 all of you imagine mischief against a man? all of you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall all of you be, and as 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 cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

My soul, wait you only upon God; 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: he is my defence; 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: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

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

Trust in him at all times; all of you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

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

God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.

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

Also unto you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
