Zaburi 86
1 Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.
A prayer of David. Listen, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and oppressed.
2 Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.
Protect me, for I am loyal; my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I cry out to you all day long.
4 Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.
Make your servant glad, for to you, Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.
You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and you show great mercy to all those who cry out to you.
6 Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.
Yahweh, listen to my prayer; hear the sound of my pleas.
7 Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.
In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will answer me.
8 Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.
There is no one who compares to you among the gods, Lord. There are no deeds like your deeds.
9 Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.
All the nations that you have made will come and bow before you, Lord. They will honor your name.
10 Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.
For you are great and do wonderful things; you only are God.
11 Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.
Teach me your ways, Yahweh. Then I will walk in your truth. Unite my heart to reverence you.
12 Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.
Lord my God, I will praise you with my whole heart; I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your covenant faithfulness toward me; you have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ee Mungu, wenye majivuno wananishambulia; kundi la watu wakatili linatafuta uhai wangu: watu wasiokuheshimu wewe.
God, the arrogant have risen up against me. A gang of violent men seek my life. They have no regard for you.
15 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
16 Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant; save the son of your servant woman.
17 Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
Show me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will see it and be put to shame because you, Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
