1
Nalimngoja Bwana kwa saburi, Akaniinamia akakisikia kilio changu.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2
Akanipandisha toka shimo la uharibifu, Toka udongo wa utelezi; Akaisimamisha miguu yangu mwambani, Akaziimarisha hatua zangu.
He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
3
Akatia wimbo mpya kinywani mwangu, Ndio sifa zake Mungu wetu. Wengi wataona na kuogopa, Nao watamtumaini Bwana
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4
Heri aliyemfanya Bwana kuwa tumaini lake, Wala hakuwaelekea wenye kiburi, Wala hao wanaogeukia uongo.
Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
5
Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, umefanya kwa wingi Miujiza yako na mawazo yako kwetu; Hakuna awezaye kufananishwa nawe; Kama ningependa kuyatangaza na kuyahubiri, Ni mengi sana hayahesabiki.
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
6
Dhabihu na matoleo hukupendezwa nazo, Masikio yangu umeyazibua, Kafara na sadaka za dhambi hukuzitaka.
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
7
Ndipo niliposema, Tazama nimekuja, (Katika gombo la chuo nimeandikiwa,)
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:
8
Kuyafanya mapenzi yako, Ee Mungu wangu, ndiyo furaha yangu; Naam, sheria yako imo moyoni mwangu.
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
9
Nimehubiri habari za haki katika kusanyiko kubwa. Sikuizuia midomo yangu; Ee Bwana, unajua.
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
10
Sikusitiri haki yako moyoni mwangu; Nimetangaza uaminifu wako na wokovu wako. Sikuficha fadhili zako wala kweli yako Katika kusanyiko kubwa.
I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
11
Nawe, Bwana, usinizuilie rehema zako, Fadhili zako na kweli yako na zinihifadhi daima.
O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
12
Kwa maana mabaya yasiyohesabika Yamenizunguka mimi. Maovu yangu yamenipata, Wala siwezi kuona. Yamezidi kuliko nywele za kichwa changu, Na moyo wangu umeniacha.
For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
13
Ee Bwana, uwe radhi kuniokoa, Ee Bwana, unisaidie hima.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14
Waaibike, wafedheheke pamoja, Wanaoitafuta nafsi yangu waiangamize. Warudishwe nyuma, watahayarishwe, Wapendezwao na shari yangu.
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
15
Wakae hali ya ukiwa, na iwe aibu yao, Wanaoniambia, Ewe! Ewe!
May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
16
Washangilie, wakufurahie, Wote wakutafutao. Waupendao wokovu wako Waseme daima, Atukuzwe Bwana.
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
17
Nami ni maskini na mhitaji, Bwana atanitunza. Ndiwe msaada wangu na mwokozi wangu, Ee Mungu wangu, usikawie.
But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
