Zaburi 62

1 Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

2 Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa kamwe.

He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

3 Mpaka lini, ninyi nyote, mtamshambulia mtu, ili kwamba mumpindue yeye kama ukuta ulio inama au kama fensi isiyo imara?

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

4 Wanashauliana naye ili tu kumshusha chini kutoka kwenye nafasi yake heshimiwa; wao wanapenda kuongea uongo; wanambariki yeye kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyoni mwao wana mlaani yeye. (Selah)

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.

5 Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; kwa maana matumaini yangu yako kwake.

Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

6 Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa.

He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

7 Na Mungu ni wokovu wangu na utukufu wangu; mwamba wa nguvu yangu na kimbilio langu salama liko katika Mungu.

My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

8 Mwaminini Mungu wakati wote, ninyi watu; mimina moyo wako mbele zake; Mungu ni kimbilio salama kwa ajili yetu. (Selah)

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.

9 Hakika watu wenye msimamo mdogo ni ubatili, na watu wenye msimamo mkubwa ni waongo; wao watakuwa wepesi kwenye mzani; uzito wao pamoja ni wepesi kuliko kitu chochote.

Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

10 Usiamini katika ukandamizaji au wizi; usitumainie utajiri, maana hawatazaa matunda; usiuweke moyo wako kwenye hivyo.

Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11 Mungu ameongea mara moja, mara mbili nimesikia hili: nguvu ni za Mungu.

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

12 Pia kwako, Bwana, ni uaminifu wa agano, maana humlipa kila mtu kwa kile alichokifanya.

and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
