Zaburi 64
1 Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.
You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.
3 Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,
For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,
4 ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.
so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.
5 Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”
They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”
6 Wanabuni mipango ya dhambi; “Tumemaliza,” wanasema, “ni mpango makini.” Mawazo ya ndani na mioyo ya watu ni ya kina.
They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,
7 Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.
and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,
8 Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.
and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;
9 Watu wote wataogopa na kutangaza matendo ya Mungu. Kwa hekima watafikiria kuhusu kile yeye ametenda.
and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.
10 Wenye haki watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
