Zaburi 70

1 Uniokoe, Mungu! Yahwe, njoo haraka na unisaidie mimi.

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

2 Wale wajaribuo kuchukua uhai wangu waaibishwe na kufedheheshwa; warudishwe nyuma na wasiheshimiwe, wale wafurahiao katika maumivu yangu.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

3 Warudishwe nyuma kwa sababu ya aibu yao, wale wasemao, “Aha, aha.”

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

4 Wale wakutafutao wafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; wale waupendao wokovu wako siku zote waseme, “Mungu asifiwe.”

Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 Lakini mimi ni maskini na muhitaji; harakisha kwangu, Mungu; wewe ni msaada wangu nawe huniokoa mimi. Yahwe, usichelewe.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
