1
Katika shida yangu nalimlilia Bwana Naye akaniitikia.
A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
2
Ee Bwana, uiponye nafsi yangu Na midomo ya uongo na ulimi wa hila.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3
Akupe nini, akuzidishie nini, Ewe ulimi wenye hila?
What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
4
Mishale ya mtu hodari iliyochongoka, Pamoja na makaa ya mretemu.
Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5
Ole wangu mimi! Kwa kuwa nimekaa katika Mesheki; Na kufanya maskani yangu Katikati ya hema za Kedari.
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6
Nafsi yangu imekaa siku nyingi, Pamoja naye aichukiaye amani.
Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
7
Mimi ni wa amani; Bali ninenapo, wao huelekea vita.
I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
