Mungu, unirehemu, maana yuko atakaye kunimeza, Mchana kutwa ananionea akileta vita.
> Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
Adui zangu wanataka kunimeza mchana kutwa, Maana waletao vita juu yangu kwa kiburi ni wengi.
My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.
Siku ya hofu yangu nitakutumaini Wewe;
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
Kwa msaada wa MUNGU nitalisifu neno lake. Nimemtumaini Mungu, sitaogopa; Mwenye mwili atanitenda nini?
In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Mchana kutwa wanapotosha maneno yangu, Mawazo yao yote ni juu yangu kunitakia mabaya.
All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Hukutanika, hujificha, huziangalia nyayo zangu, Kwa kuwa wameniotea nafsi yangu.
They conspire and lurk, Watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
Je! Wataokoka kwa uovu wao? Ee Mungu, uwaangamize kwa hasira yako.
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
Umehesabu kutanga-tanga kwangu; Uyatie machozi yangu katika chupa yako; (Je! Hayamo katika kitabu chako?)
You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
Ndipo adui zangu watarudi nyuma siku ile niitapo. Neno hili najua kuwa MUNGU yu upande wangu;
Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
Kwa msaada wa MUNGU nitalisifu neno lake. Kwa msaada wa Bwana nitalisifu neno lake.
In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
Nimemtumaini Mungu, sitaogopa; Mwanadamu atanitenda nini?
I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Ee Mungu, nadhiri zako zi juu yangu; Nitakutolea dhabihu za kushukuru.
Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
Maana umeniponya nafsi yangu na mauti; Je! Hukuizuia miguu yangu isianguke? Ili nienende mbele za Mungu Katika nuru ya walio hai.
For you have delivered my soul from death, And prevented my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
