Njoni, tumwimbie Bwana, Tumfanyie shangwe mwamba wa wokovu wetu.
Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Tuje mbele zake kwa shukrani, Tumfanyie shangwe kwa zaburi.
Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni Mungu mkuu, Na Mfalme mkuu juu ya miungu yote.
For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods.
Mkononi mwake zimo bonde za dunia, Hata vilele vya milima ni vyake.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
Bahari ni yake, ndiye aliyeifanya, Na mikono yake iliumba nchi kavu.
The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
Njoni, tuabudu, tusujudu, Tupige magoti mbele za Bwana aliyetuumba.
Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
Kwa maana ndiye Mungu wetu, Na sisi tu watu wa malisho yake, Na kondoo za mkono wake. Ingekuwa heri leo msikie sauti yake!
For he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, And the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
Msifanye migumu mioyo yenu; Kama vile huko Meriba Kama siku ya Masa jangwani.
Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
Hapo waliponijaribu baba zenu, Wakanipima, wakayaona matendo yangu.
When your fathers tempted me, Tested me, and saw my work.
Miaka arobaini nalihuzunika na kizazi kile, Nikasema, Hao ni watu waliopotoka mioyo, Hawakuzijua njia zangu.
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, And said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."
Nikaapa kwa hasira yangu Wasiingie rahani mwangu.
Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
