Kama ayala aioneavyo shauku mito ya maji. Vivyo hivyo nafsi yangu inakuonea shauku, Ee Mungu.
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
2
Nafsi yangu inamwonea kiu MUNGU, Mungu aliye hai, Lini nitakapokuja nionekane mbele za Mungu?
My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
3
Machozi yangu yamekuwa chakula changu mchana na usiku, Pindi wanaponiambia mchana kutwa, Yuko wapi Mungu wako.
My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4
Nayakumbuka hayo nikiweka wazi nafsi yangu ndani yangu, Jinsi nilivyokuwa nikienda na mkutano, Na kuwaongoza nyumbani kwa Mungu, Kwa sauti ya furaha na kusifu, mkutano wa sikukuu.
These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
5
Nafsi yangu, kwa nini kuinama, Na kufadhaika ndani yangu? Umtumaini Mungu; Kwa maana nitakuja kumsifu, Aliye afya ya uso wangu, Na Mungu wangu.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
6
Nafsi yangu imeinama ndani yangu, kwa hiyo nitakukumbuka, Toka nchi ya Yordani, na Mahermoni, na toka kilima cha Mizari.
O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.
7
Kilindi chapigia kelele kilindi kwa sauti ya maboromoko ya maji yako, Gharika zako zote na mawimbi yako yote yamepita juu yangu.
Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
8
Mchana Bwana ataagiza fadhili zake, na usiku wimbo wake utakuwa nami, Naam, maombi kwa Mungu aliye uhai wangu.
The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
9
Nitamwambia Mungu, mwamba wangu, Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini ninakwenda nikihuzunika, adui wakinionea?
I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”
10
Watesi wangu hunitukana mithili ya kuniponda mifupa yangu, Pindi wanaponiambia mchana kutwa, Yuko wapi Mungu wako?
Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11
Nafsi yangu, kwa nini kuinama, Na kufadhaika ndani yangu? Umtumaini Mungu; Kwa maana nitakuja kumsifu, Aliye afya ya uso wangu, Na Mungu wangu.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
