Zaburi 64
1 Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.
2 Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.
Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
3 Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,
Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.
4 ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.
To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.
5 Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”
They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?
6 Wanabuni mipango ya dhambi; “Tumemaliza,” wanasema, “ni mpango makini.” Mawazo ya ndani na mioyo ya watu ni ya kina.
They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.
7 Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.
But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.
8 Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.
They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall 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 see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.
10 Wenye haki watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
