Zaburi 86

1 Sikia, Ee Yahwe, na unijibu, kwa kuwa ni maskini na mnyonge.

A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.

2 Unilinde, maana mimi ni mwaminifu; Mungu wangu, umuokoe mtumishi wako anayekuamini.

Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.

3 Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.

Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.

4 Umfurahishe mtumishi wako, maana ni kwako, Bwana, ninaomba.

Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.

5 Wewe, Bwana, ni mwema, na uko tayari kusamehe, na huonesha huruma kubwa kwa wale wanao kulilia wewe.

For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.

6 Yahwe, sikiliza maombi yangu; sikia sauti ya ombi langu.

Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.

7 Katika siku ya shida ninakuita wewe, kwa maana utanijibu.

In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.

8 Katikati ya miungu hakuna wa kufananishwa na wewe, Bwana. Hakuna matendo kama matendo yako.

Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.

9 Mataifa yote ambayo umeyafanya yatakuja kwako na kusujudu mbele zako, Bwana. nao wataliheshimu jina lako.

All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.

10 Kwa kuwa wewe ni mkuu na utendaye mambo ya ajabu; wewe pekee ndiwe Mungu.

For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

11 Unifundishe njia zako, Yahwe. Kisha nitatembea katika kweli yako. Unifanye kukuheshimu wewe.

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.

12 Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wangu wote; nitalitukuza jina lako milele.

I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.

13 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu kwangu; wewe umeokoa uhai wangu kutoka chini kuzimuni. (Sheol h7585)

For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)

14 Ee Mungu, wenye kiburi wameinuka dhidi yangu. Kundi la watu wenye vurugu wanautafuta uhai wangu. Nao hawakuheshimu wewe.

O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.

15 Lakini wewe, Bwana, ni mwenye huruma na neema, hukasiliki haraka, na mwingi katika uaminifu wa agano lako na kweli.

But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.

16 Unigeukie na unihurumie; mpe nguvu zako mtumishi wako; umuokoe mwana wa mjakazi wako.

Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.

17 Unioneshe ishara ya fadhila zako. Kisha wale wanichukiao wataziona na kuaibishwa kwa sababu yako; Yahwe, umenisaidia na kunifariji.

Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
