Mpigieni Bwana vigelegele, enyi wenye haki, Kusifu kunawapasa wanyofu wa moyo.
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2
Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kinubi, Kwa kinanda cha nyuzi kumi mwimbieni sifa.
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3
Mwimbieni wimbo mpya, Pigeni kwa ustadi kwa sauti ya shangwe.
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4
Kwa kuwa neno la Bwana lina adili, Na kazi yake yote huitenda kwa uaminifu.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5
Huzipenda haki na hukumu, Nchi imejaa fadhili za Bwana.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6
Kwa neno la Bwana mbingu zilifanyika, Na jeshi lake lote kwa pumzi ya kinywa chake.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7
Hukusanya maji ya bahari chungu chungu, Huviweka vilindi katika ghala.
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8
Nchi yote na imwogope Bwana, Wote wakaao duniani na wamche.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9
Maana Yeye alisema, ikawa; Na Yeye aliamuru, ikasimama.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10
Bwana huyabatilisha mashauri ya mataifa, Huyatangua makusudi ya watu.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11
Shauri la Bwana lasimama milele, Makusudi ya moyo wake vizazi na vizazi.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12
Heri taifa ambalo Bwana ni Mungu wao, Watu aliowachagua kuwa urithi wake.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13
Toka mbinguni Bwana huchungulia, Huwatazama wanadamu wote pia.
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14
Toka mahali pake aketipo Huwaangalia wote wakaao duniani.
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15
yeye aiumbaye mioyo yao wote Huzifikiri kazi zao zote.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16
Hapana mfalme aokokaye kwa wingi wa uwezo, Wala shujaa haokoki kwa wingi wa nguvu.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17
Farasi hafai kitu kwa wokovu, Wala hamponyi mtu kwa wingi wa nguvu zake.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18
Tazama, jicho la Bwana li kwao wamchao, Wazingojeao fadhili zake.
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19
Yeye huwaponya nafsi zao na mauti, Na kuwahuisha wakati wa njaa.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20
Nafsi zetu zinamngoja Bwana; Yeye ndiye msaada wetu na ngao yetu.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21
Maana mioyo yetu itamfurahia, Kwa kuwa tumelitumainia jina lake takatifu.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22
Ee Bwana, fadhili zako zikae nasi, Kama vile tulivyokungoja Wewe.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
