Zaburi 70

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

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

May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

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

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “Aha! aha!”

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

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

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! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
