Zaburi 40
Wimbo Wa Sifa
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi.
140:1 Za 37:7; 116:1; 6:9; 31:22; 34:15; 7:15; 145:19Nilimngoja Bwana kwa saburi,
naye akaniinamia, akasikia kilio changu.
240:2 Ay 9:31; 30:19; Za 7:15; 69:14; 31:8; 27:5Akanipandisha kutoka shimo la uharibifu,
kutoka matope na utelezi;
akaiweka miguu yangu juu ya mwamba
na kunipa mahali imara pa kusimama.
340:3 Za 28:7; 52:6; 64:9; Ufu 5:9; Kut 14:31Akaweka wimbo mpya kinywani mwangu,
wimbo wa sifa kwa Mungu wetu.
Wengi wataona na kuogopa
na kuweka tumaini lao kwa Bwana.
440:4 Za 2:12; 34:8; 84:12; 101:5; 4:2; 138:6; Kum 31:20; Mit 3:34; 16:5; Isa 65:5; 1Pet 5:5Heri mtu yule amfanyaye Bwana kuwa tumaini lake,
asiyewategemea wenye kiburi,
wale wenye kugeukia miungu ya uongo.
540:5 Kum 4:34; Isa 55:8; Za 75:1; 105:5; 136:4; 139:18; 71:15; 139:15Ee Bwana Mungu wangu,
umefanya mambo mengi ya ajabu.
Mambo uliyopanga kwa ajili yetu
hakuna awezaye kukuhesabia;
kama ningesema na kuyaelezea,
yangekuwa mengi mno kuyaelezea.
640:6 1Sam 15:22; Isa 1:11; Hos 6:6; Yer 6:20; Mt 9:13; Amo 5:22; Kut 21:6; Za 50:8; 51:16Dhabihu na sadaka hukuvitaka,
lakini umefungua masikio yangu;40:6 Au: bali mwili uliniandalia.
sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za dhambi
hukuzihitaji.
740:7 Ay 19:23; Yn 5:39; Yer 36:2; 45:1; Eze 2:9; Lk 24:44; Mdo 10:43; Ebr 10:7Ndipo niliposema, “Mimi hapa, nimekuja:
imeandikwa kunihusu katika kitabu.
840:8 Mt 26:39; Yn 4:34; Ebr 10:5-7; Kum 6:6; Yer 15:16; Rum 7:22; Ay 22:22; 23:12Ee Mungu wangu,
natamani kuyafanya mapenzi yako;
sheria yako iko ndani ya moyo wangu.”
940:9 Za 22:25, 31; 139:2; Yos 22:22Nimehubiri haki katika kusanyiko kubwa,
sikufunga mdomo wangu,
Ee Bwana, kama ujuavyo.
1040:10 Za 89:1; 22:22; Mdo 20:20; Flp 3:9; Rum 1:16, 17Sikuficha haki yako moyoni mwangu;
ninasema juu ya uaminifu wako na wokovu wako.
Sikuficha upendo wako na kweli yako
mbele ya kusanyiko kubwa.
1140:11 Zek 1:12; Za 26:3; 61:7; 43:3; Mit 20:28Ee Bwana, usizuilie huruma zako,
upendo wako na kweli yako daima vinilinde.
1240:12 Za 25:17; 38:4; 65:3; 69:4; 73:26Kwa maana taabu zisizo na hesabu zimenizunguka,
dhambi zangu zimenikamata, hata nisiweze kuona.
Zimekuwa nyingi kuliko nywele za kichwa changu,
nao moyo unazimia ndani yangu.
1340:13 Za 22:19; 38:22Ee Bwana, uwe radhi kuniokoa;
Ee Bwana, njoo hima unisaidie.
1440:14 1Sam 20:1; Es 9:2; Za 35:26; 35:4Wote wanaotafuta kuuondoa uhai wangu,
waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa;
wote wanaotamani kuangamizwa kwangu,
warudishwe nyuma kwa aibu.
1540:15 Za 35:21Wale waniambiao, “Aha! Aha!”
wafadhaishwe na iwe aibu yao.
1640:16 Kum 4:29; 1Nya 28:9; Za 9:10; 119:2; 9:2; 35:27Lakini wote wakutafutao
washangilie na kukufurahia,
wale wapendao wokovu wako siku zote waseme,
“Bwana atukuzwe!”
1740:17 Neh 5:19; Mk 10:21; Za 86:1; 109:22; 144:3; 20:2; 18:2; 119:60Lakini bado mimi ni maskini na mhitaji;
Bwana na anifikirie.
Wewe ndiwe msaada wangu na Mwokozi wangu;
Ee Mungu wangu, usikawie.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.40.1 I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited
2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.40.2 an…: Heb. a pit of noise
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.40.5 they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.40.6 opened: Heb. digged
7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.40.8 within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels
9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.40.12 faileth: Heb. forsaketh
13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
