Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana. Naam, vyote vilivyo ndani yangu Vilihimidi jina lake takatifu.
Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2
Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana, Wala usizisahau fadhili zake zote.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
3
Akusamehe maovu yako yote, Akuponya magonjwa yako yote,
He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
4
Aukomboa uhai wako na kaburi, Akutia taji ya fadhili na rehema,
who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5
Aushibisha mema uzee wako, Ujana wako ukarejezwa kama tai;
who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
Bwana ndiye afanyaye mambo ya haki, Na hukumu kwa wote wanaoonewa.
The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7
Alimjulisha Musa njia zake, Wana wa Israeli matendo yake.
He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8
Bwana amejaa huruma na neema, Haoni hasira upesi, ni mwingi wa fadhili.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9
Yeye hatateta sikuzote, Wala hatashika hasira yake milele.
He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
10
Hakututenda sawasawa na hatia zetu, Wala hakutulipa kwa kadiri ya maovu yetu.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11
Maana mbingu zilivyoinuka juu ya nchi, Kadiri ile ile rehema zake ni kuu kwa wamchao.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
12
Kama mashariki ilivyo mbali na magharibi, Ndivyo alivyoweka dhambi zetu mbali nasi.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13
Kama vile baba awahurumiavyo watoto wake, Ndivyo Bwana anavyowahurumia wamchao.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14
Kwa maana Yeye anatujua umbo letu, Na kukumbuka ya kuwa sisi tu mavumbi.
For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
15
Mwanadamu siku zake zi kama majani; Kama ua la kondeni ndivyo asitawivyo.
As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;
16
Maana upepo hupita juu yake, kumbe haliko! Na mahali pake hapatalijua tena.
when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
17
Bali fadhili za Bwana zina wamchao Tangu milele hata milele, Na haki yake ina wana wa wana;
But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—
18
Maana, wale walishikao agano lake, Na kuyakumbuka maagizo yake ili wayafanye.
to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
19
Bwana ameweka kiti chake cha enzi mbinguni, Na ufalme wake unavitawala vitu vyote.
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi malaika zake, Ninyi mlio hodari, mtendao neno lake, Mkiisikiliza sauti ya neno lake.
Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
21
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi majeshi yake yote, Ninyi watumishi wake mfanyao mapenzi yake.
Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
22
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi matendo yake yote, Mahali pote pa milki yake. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana.
Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
