1
Ee Bwana, usikie haki, ukisikilize kilio changu, Utege sikio lako kwa maombi yangu, Yasiyotoka katika midomo ya hila.
A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer—it comes from lips free of deceit.
2
Hukumu yangu na itoke kwako, Macho yako na yatazame mambo ya adili.
May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.
3
Umenijaribu moyo wangu, umenijilia usiku, Umenihakikisha usione neno; Nimenuia kinywa changu kisikose,
You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
4
Mintarafu matendo ya wanadamu; Kwa neno la midomo yako Nimejiepusha na njia za wenye jeuri.
As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5
Nyayo zangu zimeshikamana na njia zako, Hatua zangu hazikuondoshwa.
My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6
Ee Mungu, nimekuita kwa maana utaitika, Utege sikio lako ulisikie neno langu.
I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
7
Dhihirisha fadhili zako za ajabu Wewe uwaokoaye wanaokukimbilia; Kwa mkono wako wa kuume Uwaokoe nao wanaowaondokea.
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.
8
Unilinde kama mboni ya jicho, Unifiche chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako;
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9
Wasinione wasio haki wanaonionea, Adui za roho yangu wanaonizunguka.
from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10
Wameukaza moyo wako, Kwa vinywa vyao hutoa majivuno.
They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.
11
Sasa wametuzunguka hatua zetu, Na kuyakaza macho yao watuangushe chini.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
12
Kama mfano wa simba atakaye kurarua, Kama mwana-simba aoteaye katika maoteo yake.
like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13
Ee Bwana, usimame, umkabili, umwinamishe, Kwa upanga wako uniokoe nafsi na mtu mbaya.
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
14
Ee Bwana, kwa mkono wako uniokoe na watu, Watu wa dunia hii ambao fungu lao li katika maisha haya. Matumbo yao wayajaza kwa hazina yako, Hushiba wana, huwaachia watoto wao akiba zao,
from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.
15
Bali mimi nikutazame uso wako katika haki, Niamkapo nishibishwe kwa sura yako.
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
