Zaburi 70

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Maombi. Ee Mungu, ufanye haraka kuniokoa; Ee Bwana, njoo hima unisaidie.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.

2 Wale wanaotafuta kuuondoa uhai wangu, waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa; wote wanaotamani kuangamizwa kwangu, warudishwe nyuma kwa aibu.

May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.

3 Wale waniambiao, “Aha! Aha!” warudi nyuma kwa sababu ya aibu yao.

May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”

4 Lakini wote wakutafutao washangilie na kukufurahia, wale wapendao wokovu wako siku zote waseme, “Mungu na atukuzwe!”

Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”

5 Lakini bado mimi ni maskini na mhitaji; Ee Mungu, unijie haraka. Wewe ndiwe msaada wangu na mwokozi wangu; Ee Bwana, usikawie.

I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
