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 Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation [yeshuah-ti] is from him.
2 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.
He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3 Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like 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 fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. 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 in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6 Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.
He alone is my rock and my salvation [yeshuah-ti], my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7 Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.
My salvation and my honour is with God. 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, 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 just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10 Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11 Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12 na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
