Zaburi 9
1 Nitamshukuru Yahweh kwa moyo wangu wote; nitayasimulia matendo yako makuu.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.
2 Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; nitaliimbia jina lako, Wewe uliye juu.
I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 Maadui zangu wanaponirudia, hujikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 Kwa kuwa umenitetea kwa haki; unakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki!
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Uliwakemea mataifa; umewaharibu waovu; na kuwa futilia mbali jina lao milele na milele.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
6 Maadui wamebomoka kama magofu ulipo pindua miji yao. Kumbukumbu yao yote imepotea.
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 Bali Yahweh anadumu milele; ameweka kiti chake cha enzi kwa ajili ya haki.
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Naye atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, na atatekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa kwa haki.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Yahweh pia atakuwa ngome kwake aliye onewa, na ngome wakati wa shida.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Wale wakujuao jina lako wanaamini katika Wewe, kwa ajili yako, Yahweh, usiwaache wale wakutafutao.
And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Mwibieni sifa Yahweh, anaye tawala katika Sayuni; waambieni mataifa yale aliyo yatenda.
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 Kwa kuwa Mungu alipizae kisasi cha damu hukumbuka; naye hasahau kilio cha anayeonewa.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Unihurumie, Yahweh; tazama vile ninavyo onewa na wale wanao nichukia, wewe ambaye unaweza kunikwapua katika lango la kifo.
Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 Oh, ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako. Katika lango la binti sayuni nitaufurahia wokovu wako!
That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 Mataifa yamedidimia chini katika shimo ambalo walilolitengeneza; miguu yao imenaswa kwenye nyavu walioificha wenyewe.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Yahweh amejidhihilisha; na kutekeleza hukumu; waovu wameangamia kwa matendo yao wenyewe. (Selah)
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kwa kuwa mhitaji hata sahauliwa siku zote, wala matumaini ya wanyonge hayatapotea milele.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Inuka, Yahweh, usimruhusu mtu kutushinda; mataifa na wahukumiwe mbele zako.
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Bwana, waogopeshe; mataifa waweze kutambua kuwa ni wanadamu tu. (Selah)
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
