Zaburi 3
1 Yahewh, maadui zangu wako wangapi! Ni wengi wamekuja kinyume na mimi.
A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
2 Ni wengi wanaonisema, “Hakuna msaada wowote kutoka kwa Mungu kwa ajili yake.” (Selah)
Many are those who say of me, “There is no help for him in his God.” (Selah)
3 Bali wewe, Yahweh, u ngao yangu pande zote, utukufu wangu, na uniinuaye kichwa changu.
But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
4 Nampazia Yahweh sauti yangu, na yeye ananijibu kutoka katika mlima wake mtakatifu.
When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
5 Nilijilaza chini na kusinzia; na niliamka, kwa kuwa Yahweh alinilinda.
I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
6 Sitaogopa kusanyiko la watu ambao wamejipanga kinyume na mimi pande zote.
I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
7 Inuka, Yahweh! Uniokoe, Mungu wangu! Kwa kuwa utawapiga maadui zangu wote kwenye taya zao; utayavunja meno ya waovu.
Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
8 Wokovu unatoka kwa Yahweh. Baraka zako ziwe juu ya watu wako.
Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
