To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: For my soul trusteth in thee:
Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Unirehemu, Ee Mungu, unirehemu mimi, Maana nafsi yangu imekukimbilia Wewe. Nitaukimbilia uvuli wa mbawa zako, Hata misiba hii itakapopita.
2 I will cry unto God most high;
Unto God that performeth all things for me.
Nitamwita MUNGU Aliye juu, Mungu anitimiziaye mambo yangu.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me
From the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.
God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
Atapeleka toka mbinguni na kuniokoa, Atukanapo yule atakaye kunimeza. Mungu atazipeleka Fadhili zake na kweli yake
4 My soul is among lions:
And I lie even among them that are set on fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Nafsi yangu i kati ya simba, Nitastarehe kati yao waliowaka moto. Wanadamu meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, Na ndimi zao ni upanga mkali.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let thy glory be above all the earth.
Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, Na juu ya nchi yote uwe utukufu wako.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down:
They have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves . Selah.
Wameweka wavu ili kuninasa miguu; Nafsi yangu imeinama; Wamechimba shimo mbele yangu; Wametumbukia ndani yake!
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:
I will sing and give praise.
Ee Mungu, moyo wangu u thabiti, Moyo wangu u thabiti. Nitaimba, nitaimba zaburi,
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake early.
Amka, utukufu wangu. Amka, kinanda na kinubi, Nitaamka alfajiri.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:
I will sing unto thee among the nations.
Ee Bwana, nitakushukuru kati ya watu, Nitakuimbia zaburi kati ya mataifa.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens,
And thy truth unto the clouds.
Maana fadhili zako ni kubwa hata mbinguni, Na uaminifu wako hata mawinguni.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
Let thy glory be above all the earth.
Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, Na juu ya nchi yote uwe utukufu wako.
