Zaburi 3
1 Yahewh, maadui zangu wako wangapi! Ni wengi wamekuja kinyume na mimi.
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2 Ni wengi wanaonisema, “Hakuna msaada wowote kutoka kwa Mungu kwa ajili yake.” (Selah)
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 Bali wewe, Yahweh, u ngao yangu pande zote, utukufu wangu, na uniinuaye kichwa changu.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Nampazia Yahweh sauti yangu, na yeye ananijibu kutoka katika mlima wake mtakatifu.
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 Nilijilaza chini na kusinzia; na niliamka, kwa kuwa Yahweh alinilinda.
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 Sitaogopa kusanyiko la watu ambao wamejipanga kinyume na mimi pande zote.
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 Inuka, Yahweh! Uniokoe, Mungu wangu! Kwa kuwa utawapiga maadui zangu wote kwenye taya zao; utayavunja meno ya waovu.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Wokovu unatoka kwa Yahweh. Baraka zako ziwe juu ya watu wako.
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
