1
Haleluya. Nampenda Bwana kwa kuwa anaisikiliza Sauti yangu na dua zangu.
I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy.
2
Kwa maana amenitegea sikio lake, Kwa hiyo nitamwita siku zangu zote.
Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
3
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka, Shida za kuzimu zilinipata. Naliona taabu na huzuni;
The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
4
Nikaliitia jina la Bwana. Ee Bwana, nakuomba sana, Uniokoe nafsi yangu.
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5
Bwana ni mwenye neema na haki, Naam, Mungu wetu ni mwenye rehema.
The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6
Bwana huwalinda wasio na hila; Nalidhilika, akaniokoa.
The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
7
Ee nafsi yangu, urudi rahani mwako, Kwa kuwa Bwana amekutendea ukarimu.
Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8
Maana umeniponya nafsi yangu na mauti, Macho yangu na machozi, Na miguu yangu na kuanguka.
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9
Nitaenenda mbele za Bwana Katika nchi za walio hai.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10
Naliamini, kwa maana nitasema, Mimi naliteswa sana.
I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11
Mimi nalisema kwa haraka yangu, Wanadamu wote ni waongo.
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
12
Nimrudishie Bwana nini Kwa ukarimu wake wote alionitendea?
How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
13
Nitakipokea kikombe cha wokovu; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
15
Ina thamani machoni pa Bwana Mauti ya wacha Mungu wake.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16
Ee Bwana, hakika mimi ni mtumishi wako, Mtumishi wako, mwana wa mjakazi wako, Umevifungua vifungo vyangu.
Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
17
Nitakutolea dhabihu ya kushukuru; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
19
Katika nyua za nyumba ya Bwana, Ndani yako, Ee Yerusalemu.
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
