Zaburi 62

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

Truly my soul waits on God: from him comes my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

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

How long will you imagine mischief against a man? you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall you be, and as 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 only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

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

My soul, wait you only on God; for my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

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

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and 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; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

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

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

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

Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
