1
Heri amkumbukaye mnyonge; Bwana atamwokoa siku ya taabu.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
2
Bwana atamlinda na kumhifadhi hai, Naye atafanikiwa katika nchi; Wala usimtie katika hali wamtakiayo adui zake.
The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.
3
Bwana atamtegemeza alipo mgonjwa kitandani. Katika ugonjwa wake umemtandikia.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4
Nami nalisema, Bwana, unifadhili, Uniponye roho yangu maana nimekutenda dhambi.
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5
Adui zangu wananitaja kwa maneno mabaya, Atakufa lini, jina lake likapotea?
My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6
Na mmoja wao akija kunitazama asema uongo, Moyo wake hujikusanyia maovu, Naye atokapo nje huyanena.
My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7
Wote wanaonichukia wananinong'ona, Wananiwazia mabaya.
All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
8
Neno la kisirani limemgandama, Na iwapo amelala hatasimama tena.
“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
9
Msiri wangu tena niliyemtumaini, Aliyekula chakula changu, Ameniinulia kisigino chake.
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10
Lakini Wewe, Bwana, unifadhili, Uniinue nipate kuwalipa.
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11
Kwa neno hili nimejua ya kuwa wapendezwa nami, Kwa kuwa adui yangu hasimangi kwa kunishinda.
By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12
Nami katika ukamilifu wangu umenitegemeza, Umeniweka mbele za uso wako milele.
In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
13
Na atukuzwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, Tangu milele hata milele. Amina na Amina.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
