1
Nimekuinulia macho yangu, Wewe uketiye mbinguni.
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
2
Kama vile macho ya watumishi Kwa mkono wa bwana zao Kama macho ya mjakazi Kwa mkono wa bibi yake; Hivyo macho yetu humwelekea Bwana, Mungu wetu, Hata atakapoturehemu.
As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
3
Uturehemu, Ee Bwana, uturehemu sisi, Kwa maana tumeshiba dharau.
Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
4
Nafsi zetu zimeshiba mzaha wa wenye raha, Na dharau ya wenye kiburi.
We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
