Zaburi 70

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

To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. [Be pleased] O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, to help me—make haste.

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

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

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

Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!

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

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, —say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

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

But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, —My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.
