Zaburi 7
1 Ombolezo la Daudi kwa Bwana kwa sababu ya Kushi, Mbenyamini. Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, ninakukimbilia wewe, uniokoe na kunikomboa na wote wanaonifuatia,
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 la sivyo watanirarua kama simba na kunichana vipande vipande, asiwepo wa kuniokoa.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
3 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama nimetenda haya na kuna hatia mikononi mwangu,
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
4 au ikiwa nimemtenda uovu aliye na amani nami, au nimemnyangʼanya adui yangu pasipo sababu,
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)
6 Amka kwa hasira yako, Ee Bwana, inuka dhidi ya ghadhabu ya adui zangu. Amka, Mungu wangu, uamue haki.
Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Bwana na awahukumu kabila za watu. Nihukumu Ee Bwana, kwa kadiri ya haki yangu, kwa kadiri ya uadilifu wangu, Ewe Uliye Juu Sana.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] in me.
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Ngao langu ni Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My defense [is] from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
16 Ghasia azianzishazo humrudia mwenyewe, ukatili wake humrudia kichwani.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
