Zaburi 57
1 Unihurumie, Mungu, unihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakukimbilia wewe mpaka matatizo haya yaishe. Ninakaa chini ya mbawa za zako kwa ajili ya ulinzi mpaka huu uharibifu utakapoisha.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in thee. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge until calamities be passed by.
2 Nitakulilia Mungu uliye hai, kwa Mungu, afanyaye mambo yote kwa ajili yangu.
I will cry to God Most High, to God who performs for me.
3 Yeye atatuma msaada kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, ana hasira na wale wanaonishambulia. (Selah) Mungu atanitumia upendo wake mwema na uaminifu wake.
He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him who would swallow me up. (Selah) God will send forth his loving kindness and his truth.
4 Uhai wangu uko katikati ya simba; niko katikati ya wale walio tayari kunila. Niko katikati ya watu ambao meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, na ambao ndimi zao ni kali kama upanga.
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako uwe juu ya nchi yote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
6 Wao walisambaza nje wavu kwa ajili ya miguu yangu; nilikuwa na shida sana. Walichimba shimo mbele yangu. Wao wenyewe wameangukia katikati ya shimo! (Selah)
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me. They are fallen into the midst of it themselves. (Selah)
7 Moyo wangu umeponywa, Mungu, moyo wangu umeponywa, nitaimba, ndiyo, nitaimba sifa.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8 Inuka, moyo wa thamani; inuka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
Awake up, my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe, Bwana, kati ya watu; Kati ya mataifa nitakuimbia sifa.
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
10 Maana upendo wako usiokwisha, huzifikia mbingu; na uaminifu wako mawinguni.
For thy loving kindness is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the skies.
11 Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu; na utukufu wako uinuliwe juu ya nchi yote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
