Haleluya. Nampenda Bwana kwa kuwa anaisikiliza Sauti yangu na dua zangu.
I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.
Kwa maana amenitegea sikio lake, Kwa hiyo nitamwita siku zangu zote.
Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka, Shida za kuzimu zilinipata. Naliona taabu na huzuni;
The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
Nikaliitia jina la Bwana. Ee Bwana, nakuomba sana, Uniokoe nafsi yangu.
Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."
Bwana ni mwenye neema na haki, Naam, Mungu wetu ni mwenye rehema.
Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
Bwana huwalinda wasio na hila; Nalidhilika, akaniokoa.
Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Ee nafsi yangu, urudi rahani mwako, Kwa kuwa Bwana amekutendea ukarimu.
Return to your rest, my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
Maana umeniponya nafsi yangu na mauti, Macho yangu na machozi, Na miguu yangu na kuanguka.
For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
Nitaenenda mbele za Bwana Katika nchi za walio hai.
I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
Naliamini, kwa maana nitasema, Mimi naliteswa sana.
I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."
Mimi nalisema kwa haraka yangu, Wanadamu wote ni waongo.
I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
Nimrudishie Bwana nini Kwa ukarimu wake wote alionitendea?
What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?
Nitakipokea kikombe cha wokovu; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people.
Ina thamani machoni pa Bwana Mauti ya wacha Mungu wake.
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
Ee Bwana, hakika mimi ni mtumishi wako, Mtumishi wako, mwana wa mjakazi wako, Umevifungua vifungo vyangu.
Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
Nitakutolea dhabihu ya kushukuru; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people,
Katika nyua za nyumba ya Bwana, Ndani yako, Ee Yerusalemu.
In the courts of Yahweh's house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
