1
Nitamhimidi Bwana kila wakati, Sifa zake zi kinywani mwangu daima.
Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
2
Katika Bwana nafsi yangu itajisifu, Wanyenyekevu wasikie wakafurahi.
My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.
3
Mtukuzeni Bwana pamoja nami, Na tuliadhimishe jina lake pamoja.
Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
4
Nalimtafuta Bwana akanijibu, Akaniponya na hofu zangu zote.
I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
5
Wakamwelekea macho wakatiwa nuru, Wala nyuso zao hazitaona haya.
Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
6
Maskini huyu aliita, Bwana akasikia, Akamwokoa na taabu zake zote.
This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
7
Malaika wa Bwana hufanya kituo, Akiwazungukia wamchao na kuwaokoa.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
8
Onjeni mwone ya kuwa Bwana yu mwema; Heri mtu yule anayemtumaini.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9
Mcheni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake, Yaani, wamchao hawahitaji kitu.
Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
10
Wana-simba hutindikiwa, huona njaa; Bali wamtafutao Bwana hawatahitaji kitu cho chote kilicho chema.
Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11
Njoni, enyi wana, mnisikilize, Nami nitawafundisha kumcha Bwana.
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12
Ni nani mtu yule apendezwaye na uzima, Apendaye siku nyingi apate kuona mema?
Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
13
Uuzuie ulimi wako na mabaya, Na midomo yako na kusema hila.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
14
Uache mabaya ukatende mema, Utafute amani ukaifuatie.
Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15
Macho ya Bwana huwaelekea wenye haki, Na masikio yake hukielekea kilio chao.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.
16
Uso wa Bwana ni juu ya watenda mabaya, Aliondoe kumbukumbu lao duniani.
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
17
Walilia, naye Bwana akasikia, Akawaponya na taabu zao zote.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.
18
Bwana yu karibu nao waliovunjika moyo, Na waliopondeka roho huwaokoa.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
19
Mateso ya mwenye haki ni mengi, Lakini Bwana humponya nayo yote.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.
20
Huihifadhi mifupa yake yote, Haukuvunjika hata mmoja.
He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
21
Uovu utamwua asiye haki, Nao wamchukiao mwenye haki watahukumiwa.
Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.
22
Bwana huzikomboa nafsi za watumishi wake, Wala hawatahukumiwa wote wamkimbiliao.
The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
