1
Na ahimidiwe Bwana, mwamba wangu, Anifundishaye mikono yangu vita, Vidole vyangu kupigana.
Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2
Mhisani wangu na boma langu, Ngome yangu na mwokozi wangu, Ngao yangu niliyemkimbilia, Huwatiisha watu wangu chini yangu.
He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
3
Ee Bwana, mtu ni kitu gani hata umjue? Na binadamu hata umwangalie?
O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?
4
Binadamu amefanana na ubatili, Siku zake ni kama kivuli kipitacho.
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5
Bwana, uziinamishe mbingu zako, ushuke, Uiguse milima nayo itatoka moshi.
Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6
Utupe umeme, uwatawanye, Uipige mishale yako, uwafadhaishe.
Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7
Uinyoshe mikono yako toka juu, uniponye, Unitoe katika maji mengi, katika mkono wa wageni.
Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
8
Vinywa vyao vyasema visivyofaa, Na mkono wao wa kuume ni mkono wa uongo.
whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
9
Ee Mungu, nitakuimbia wimbo mpya, Kwa kinanda chenye nyuzi kumi nitakuimbia.
I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—
10
Awapaye wafalme wokovu, Amwokoa Daudi, mtumishi wake, na upanga wa uovu.
to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
11
Uniponye, unitoe, Katika mkono wa wageni. Vinywa vyao vyasema visivyofaa, Na mkono wao wa kuume ni mkono wa uongo.
Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
12
Wana wetu na wawe kama miche Waliokua ujanani. Binti zetu kama nguzo za pembeni Zilizonakishwa kwa kupamba hekalu.
Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13
Ghala zetu na zijae Zenye akiba za jinsi zote. Kondoo zetu na wazae Elfu na makumi elfu mashambani mwetu.
Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.
14
Ng'ombe zetu na wachukue mizigo, Kusiwe na kushambuliwa. Wala kusiwe na kuhamishwa, Wala malalamiko katika njia zetu.
Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.
15
Heri watu wenye hali hiyo, Heri watu wenye Bwana kuwa Mungu wao.
Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
