Zaburi 86
1 Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.
“A prayer of David.” Incline thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
2 Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
3 Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.
Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
4 Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.
Revive the soul of thy servant, For to thee, O Lord! do I lift up my soul!
5 Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich in mercy to all that call upon thee!
6 Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.
Give ear, O LORD! to my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplication!
7 Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.
In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, For thou dost answer me!
8 Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord! And there are no works like thy works!
9 Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.
All the nations which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
10 Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.
For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art God!
11 Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.
Teach me, O LORD! thy way, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all my heart to fear thy name!
12 Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.
I will praise thee, O Lord, my God! with my whole heart; I will give glory to thy name for ever!
For thy kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (Sheol h7585)
14 Ee Mungu, wenye majivuno wananishambulia; kundi la watu wakatili linatafuta uhai wangu: watu wasiokuheshimu wewe.
O God! the proud have risen against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
15 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.
But thou, O Lord! art a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich in mercy and truth!
16 Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.
Look upon me, and have compassion upon me! Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid!
17 Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
Show me a token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest me!
