1
Ee Bwana, uniokoe na mtu mbaya, Unihifadhi na mtu wa jeuri.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
2
Waliowaza mabaya mioyoni mwao, Kila siku huondokesha vita.
who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
3
Wamenoa ndimi zao kama nyoka, Sumu ya fira i chini ya midomo yao.
They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah
4
Ee Bwana, unilinde na mikono ya mtu asiye haki; Unihifadhi na mtu wa jeuri; Waliowaza kuzipotosha hatua zangu.
Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
5
Wenye kiburi wamenifichia mtego na kamba; Wametandika wavu kando ya njia; Wameniwekea matanzi.
The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah
6
Nimemwambia Bwana, Ndiwe Mungu wangu; Ee Bwana, uisikie sauti ya dua zangu.
I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
7
Ee MUNGU Bwana, nguvu za wokovu wangu, Umenifunika kichwa changu siku ya vita.
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
8
Ee Bwana, usimpe asiye haki tamaa zake, Usiifanikishe hila yake, wasije wakajiinua.
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah
9
Nao wainuapo vichwa watu wanaonizunguka, Madhara ya midomo yao yawafunike.
May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
10
Makaa ya moto yawaangukie, watupwe motoni, Na katika mashimo, wasipate kusimama tena.
May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
11
Msingiziaji hatawekwa imara katika nchi, Mtu wa jeuri, uovu humwinda kumwangamiza.
May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
12
Najua ya kuwa Bwana atamfanyia mnyonge hukumu, Na wahitaji haki yao.
I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
13
Hakika wenye haki watalishukuru jina lako, Wenye adili watakaa mahali ulipo Wewe.
Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
