Ee Bwana, uisikie sala yangu, uzisikilize dua zangu, Kwa uaminifu wako unijibu kwa haki yako.
> Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
Wala usimhukumu mtumishi wako, Maana kwako hakuna aliye hai mwenye haki.
Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.
Maana adui ameifuatia nafsi yangu, Ameutupa chini uzima wangu. Amenikalisha mahali penye giza, Kama watu waliokufa zamani.
For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
Na roho yangu imezimia ndani yangu, Moyo wangu ndani yangu umesituka.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Nimezikumbuka siku za kale, Nimeyatafakari matendo yako yote, Naziwaza kazi za mikono yako.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Nakunyoshea mikono yangu; Nafsi yangu inakuonea kiu kama nchi kame.
I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
Ee Bwana, unijibu hima, roho yangu imelegea; Usinifiche uso wako, Nisifanane nao washukao shimoni
Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, So that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.
Unifanye kusikia fadhili zako asubuhi, Kwa maana nimekutumaini Wewe. Unijulishe njia nitakayoiendea, Kwa maana nakuinulia nafsi yangu.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.
Ee Bwana, uniponye na adui zangu; Nimekukimbilia Wewe, unifiche.
Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
Unifundishe kuyatenda mapenzi yako, Kwa maana ndiwe Mungu wangu; Roho yako mwema aniongoze kwenye nchi sawa,
Teach me to do your will, For you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Ee Bwana, unihuishe kwa ajili ya jina lako, Kwa haki yako unitoe roho yangu taabuni;
Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Kwa fadhili zako utawakatilia mbali adui zangu; Na kuwaangamiza wote wanitesao nafsi, Kwa maana mimi ni mtumishi wako.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
