Mungu, uisikie sauti yangu katika malalamiko yangu; Unilinde uhai wangu na hofu ya adui.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2
Utanificha mbali na shauri la siri la watenda mabaya, Mbali na ghasia ya watu wafanyao maovu;
Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
3
Waliounoa ulimi wao kama upanga, Wameielekeza mishale yao, maneno ya uchungu,
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4
Wapate kumpiga mkamilifu faraghani, Kwa ghafula humpiga wala hawaogopi.
ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
5
Walijifanya hodari katika jambo baya; Hushauriana juu ya kutega mitego; Husema, Ni nani atakayeiona?
They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
6
Hutunga maovu; husema, Tumefanya shauri kamili; Na mawazo ya ndani ya kila mmoja wao, Na moyo wake, huwa siri kabisa.
They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7
Kwa hiyo Mungu atawapiga shabaha, Kwa mshale mara watapigwa.
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
8
Ndivyo watakavyokwazwa, Ulimi wao wenyewe ukishindana nao. Wote wawaonao watatikisa kichwa.
They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
9
Na watu wote wataogopa, Wataitangaza kazi ya Mungu, Na kuyafahamu matendo yake.
Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
10
Mwenye haki atamfurahia Bwana na kumkimbilia, Na wote wenye moyo wa adili watajisifu.
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
