Bwana ndiye mchungaji wangu, Sitapungukiwa na kitu.
> Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
Katika malisho ya majani mabichi hunilaza, Kando ya maji ya utulivu huniongoza.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
Hunihuisha nafsi yangu; na kuniongoza Katika njia za haki kwa ajili ya jina lake.
He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Naam, nijapopita kati ya bonde la uvuli wa mauti, Sitaogopa mabaya; Kwa maana Wewe upo pamoja nami, Gongo lako na fimbo yako vyanifariji.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Waandaa meza mbele yangu, Machoni pa watesi wangu. Umenipaka mafuta kichwani pangu, Na kikombe changu kinafurika.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
Hakika wema na fadhili zitanifuata Siku zote za maisha yangu; Nami nitakaa nyumbani mwa Bwana milele.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in Yahweh's house forever.
