Psalms 3
1 The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Alipomkimbia mwanawe Absalomu. Ee Bwana, tazama adui zangu walivyo wengi! Ni wengi kiasi gani wanaoinuka dhidi yangu!
2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
Wengi wanasema juu yangu, “Mungu hatamwokoa.”
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni ngao pande zote; umeniwekea utukufu na kuinua kichwa changu.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
Ninamlilia Bwana kwa sauti kuu, naye ananijibu kutoka mlima wake mtakatifu.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
Ninajilaza na kupata usingizi; naamka tena, kwa maana Bwana hunitegemeza.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
Sitaogopa makumi elfu ya adui, wanaojipanga dhidi yangu kila upande.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Ee Bwana, amka! Niokoe, Ee Mungu wangu! Wapige adui zangu wote kwenye taya, vunja meno ya waovu.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Kwa maana wokovu watoka kwa Bwana. Baraka yako na iwe juu ya watu wako.
