Bwana, uokoe, maana mcha Mungu amekoma, Maana waaminifu wametoweka katika wanadamu.
> Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
Husemezana yasiyofaa kila mtu na mwenziwe, Wenye midomo ya kujipendekeza; Husemezana kwa mioyo ya unafiki;
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
Bwana ataikata midomo yote ya kujipendekeza, Nao ulimi unenao maneno ya kiburi;
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that boasts,
Waliosema, Kwa ndimi zetu tutashinda; Midomo yetu ni yetu wenyewe, Ni nani aliye bwana juu yetu?
Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"
Kwa ajili ya kuonewa kwao wanyonge, Kwa ajili ya kuugua kwao wahitaji, Sasa nitasimama, asema Bwana, Nitamweka salama yeye wanayemfyonya.
"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."
Maneno ya Bwana ni maneno safi, Ni fedha iliyojaribiwa kalibuni juu ya nchi; Iliyosafishwa mara saba.
The words of Yahweh are flawless words, As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
Wewe, Bwana, ndiwe utakayetuhifadhi, Utatulinda na kizazi hiki milele.
You will keep them, Yahweh, You will preserve them from this generation forever.
Wasio haki hutembea pande zote, Ufisadi ukitukuka kati ya wanadamu.
The wicked walk on every side, When what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
