1
Ee Bwana, uyasikilize maneno yangu, Ukuangalie kutafakari kwangu.
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2
Uisikie sauti ya kilio changu, Ee Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, Kwa maana Wewe ndiwe nikuombaye.
Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
3
Bwana, asubuhi utaisikia sauti yangu, Asubuhi nitakupangia dua yangu na kutazamia.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4
Maana huwi Mungu apendezwaye na ubaya; Mtu mwovu hatakaa kwako;
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5
Wajivunao hawatasimama mbele za macho yako; Unawachukia wote watendao ubatili.
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6
Utawaharibu wasemao uongo; Bwana humzira mwuaji na mwenye hila
You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7
Bali mimi, kwa wingi wa fadhili zako, Nitaingia nyumbani mwako; Na kusujudu kwa kicho, Nikilielekea hekalu lako takatifu.
But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
8
Bwana, uniongoze kwa haki yako, Kwa sababu yao wanaoniotea. Uisawazishe njia yako mbele ya uso wangu,
Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
9
Maana vinywani mwao hamna uaminifu; Mtima wao ni shimo tupu, koo lao ni kaburi wazi, Ulimi wao hujipendekeza.
For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
10
Wewe, Mungu, uwapatilize, Na waanguke kwa mashauri yao. Uwatoe nje kwa ajili ya wingi wa makosa yao, Kwa maana wamekuasi Wewe.
Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11
Nao wote wanaokukimbilia watafurahi; Watapiga daima kelele za furaha. Kwa kuwa Wewe unawahifadhi, Walipendao jina lako watakufurahia.
But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12
Kwa maana Wewe utambariki mwenye haki; Bwana, utamzungushia radhi kama ngao.
For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
