Nimekukimbilia Wewe, Bwana, Nisiaibike milele. Kwa haki yako uniponye,
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
2
Unitegee sikio lako, uniokoe hima. Uwe kwangu mwamba wa nguvu, Nyumba yenye maboma ya kuniokoa.
Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
3
Ndiwe genge langu na ngome yangu; Kwa ajili ya jina lako uniongoze, unichunge.
For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
4
Utanitoa katika wavu walionitegea kwa siri, Maana Wewe ndiwe ngome yangu.
You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
5
Mikononi mwako naiweka roho yangu; Umenikomboa, Ee Bwana, Mungu wa kweli.
Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
6
Nawachukia wao washikao yasiyofaa yenye uongo; Bali mimi namtumaini Bwana.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
7
Na nishangilie, nizifurahie fadhili zako, Kwa kuwa umeyaona mateso yangu. Umeijua nafsi yangu taabuni,
I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
8
Wala hukunitia mikononi mwa adui; Miguu yangu umeisimamisha panapo nafasi.
You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
9
Ee Bwana, unifadhili, maana ni katika dhiki, Jicho langu limenyauka kwa masumbufu, Naam, mwili wangu na nafsi yangu.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
10
Maana maisha yangu yamekoma kwa huzuni, Na miaka yangu kwa kuugua. Nguvu zangu zinatetemeka kwa uovu wangu, Na mifupa yangu imekauka.
For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
11
Kwa sababu ya watesi wangu nimekuwa laumu, Naam, hasa kwa jirani zangu; Na kitu cha kutisha kwa rafiki zangu; Walioniona njiani walinikimbia.
Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street.
12
Nimesahauliwa kama mfu asiyekumbukwa; Nimekuwa kama chombo kilichovunjika.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13
Maana nimesikia masingizio ya wengi; Hofu ziko pande zote. Waliposhauriana juu yangu, Walifanya hila wauondoe uhai wangu.
For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
14
Lakini mimi nakutumaini Wewe, Bwana, Nimesema, Wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu.
But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15
Nyakati zangu zimo mikononi mwako; Uniponye na adui zangu, nao wanaonifuatia.
My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16
Umwangaze mtumishi wako Kwa nuru ya uso wako; Uniokoe kwa ajili ya fadhili zako.
Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
17
Ee Bwana, nisiaibishwe, maana nimekuita; Waaibishwe wasio haki, wanyamaze kuzimuni.
O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.
18
Midomo ya uongo iwe na ububu, Imneneayo mwenye haki maneno ya kiburi, Kwa majivuno na dharau.
May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
19
Jinsi zilivyo nyingi fadhili zako Ulizowawekea wakuchao; Ulizowatendea wakukimbiliao Mbele ya wanadamu!
How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
20
Utawasitiri na fitina za watu Katika sitara ya kuwapo kwako; Utawaficha katika hema Na mashindano ya ndimi.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
21
Bwana ahimidiwe; kwa maana amenitendea Fadhili za ajabu katika mji wenye boma.
Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
22
Nami nalisema kwa haraka yangu, Nimekatiliwa mbali na macho yako; Lakini ulisikia sauti ya dua yangu Wakati nilipokulilia.
In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
23
Mpendeni Bwana, Ninyi nyote mlio watauwa wake. Bwana huwahifadhi waaminifu, Humlipa atendaye kiburi malipo tele.
Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
24
Iweni hodari, mpige moyo konde, Ninyi nyote mnaomngoja Bwana.
Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
