Zaburi 7
1 Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
O Yhwh my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Vinginevyo, watanipura kama simba, na kunitawanya viapande vipande na asiwepo mtu wa kuweza kunirudisha katika usalama.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
O Yhwh my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 Ikiwa sisemi ukweli basi umruhusu adui yangu kuyaingilia maisha yangu na kuyaharibu; na umuache aukanyage mwili wangu ulio hai kwenye aridhi na kuuacha umelala kwa aibu mavumbini. (Selah)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Inuka, Yahweh, katika hasira yako; simama kinyume na hasira kali ya adui zangu; amka kwa ajili yangu na ubebe amri zako ambazo wewe umeamuru kwa ajili yao.
Arise, O Yhwh, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Yahweh, uwahukumu mataifa; uwaonyeshe kuwa sina hatia, Yahweh, kwa sababu mimi ni mwenye haki na sina hatia, Ewe uliye juu.
Yhwh shall judge the people: judge me, O Yhwh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Matendo ya waovu na yafike mwisho, bali uanzishe watu wenye haki, Mungu mwenye haki, wewe ambaye unapima mioyo na fahamu.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
I will praise Yhwh according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of Yhwh most high.
