1
Mungu, unihifadhi mimi, Kwa maana nakukimbilia Wewe.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2
Nimemwambia Bwana, Ndiwe Bwana wangu; Sina wema ila utokao kwako.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3
Watakatifu waliopo duniani ndio Walio bora, Hao ndio niliopendezwa nao.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4
Huzuni zao zitaongezeka Wambadilio Mungu kwa mwingine; Sitazimimina sadaka zao za damu, Wala kuyataja majina yao midomoni mwangu.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5
Bwana ndiye fungu la posho langu, Na la kikombe changu; Wewe unaishika kura yangu.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6
Kamba zangu zimeniangukia mahali pema, Naam, nimepata urithi mzuri.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7
Nitamhimidi Bwana aliyenipa shauri, Naam, mtima wangu umenifundisha usiku.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8
Nimemweka Bwana mbele yangu daima, Kwa kuwa yuko kuumeni kwangu, sitaondoshwa.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahi, Nao utukufu wangu unashangilia, Naam, mwili wangu nao utakaa kwa kutumaini.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10
Maana hutakuachia kuzimu nafsi yangu, Wala hutamtoa mtakatifu wako aone uharibifu.
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
11
Utanijulisha njia ya uzima; Mbele za uso wako ziko furaha tele; Na katika mkono wako wa kuume Mna mema ya milele.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
