Ee Bwana, nitakuita Wewe, mwamba wangu, Usiwe kwangu kama kiziwi. Nisije nikafanana nao washukao shimoni, Ikiwa umeninyamalia.
> To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don't be deaf to me; Lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
Uisikie sauti ya dua yangu nikuombapo, Nikipainulia patakatifu pako mikono yangu.
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, When I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
Usinikokote pamoja na wasio haki, Wala pamoja na watenda maovu. Wawaambiao jirani zao maneno ya amani, Lakini mioyoni mwao mna madhara.
Don't draw me away with the wicked, With the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.
Uwape sawasawa na vitendo vyao, Na kwa kadiri ya ubaya wa kufanya kwao, Uwape sawasawa na kazi ya mikono yao, Uwalipe stahili zao.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
Maana hawazifahamu kazi za Bwana, Wala matendo ya mikono yake. Atawavunja wala hatawajenga;
Because they don't regard the works of Yahweh, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.
Na ahimidiwe Bwana. Maana ameisikia sauti ya dua yangu;
Blessed be Yahweh, Because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
Bwana ni nguvu zangu na ngao yangu. Moyo wangu umemtumaini, Nami nimesaidiwa; Basi, moyo wangu unashangilia, Na kwa wimbo wangu nitamshukuru.
Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
Bwana ni nguvu za watu wake, Naye ni ngome ya wokovu kwa masihi wake.
Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Uwaokoe watu wako, uubariki urithi wako, Uwachunge, uwachukue milele.
Save your people, And bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, And bear them up forever.
