Zaburi 64
1 Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
2 Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,
3 Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
4 ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”
They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, 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 devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.
7 Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.
But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;
8 Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.
By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Watu wote wataogopa na kutangaza matendo ya Mungu. Kwa hekima watafikiria kuhusu kile yeye ametenda.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.
10 Wenye haki watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
