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.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities are overpast.
2 Nitakulilia Mungu uliye hai, kwa Mungu, afanyaye mambo yote kwa ajili yangu.
I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth [all things] 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 shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy 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: [and] I lie [even among] them that 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; [let] thy glory [be] 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 digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen [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 and give praise.
8 Inuka, moyo wa thamani; inuka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe, Bwana, kati ya watu; Kati ya mataifa nitakuimbia sifa.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
10 Maana upendo wako usiokwisha, huzifikia mbingu; na uaminifu wako mawinguni.
For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
11 Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu; na utukufu wako uinuliwe juu ya nchi yote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
