Bwana, usinikemee kwa hasira yako, Wala usinirudi kwa ghadhabu yako.
> Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, Neither discipline me in your wrath.
Bwana, unifadhili, maana ninanyauka; Bwana, uniponye, mifupa yangu imefadhaika.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
Na nafsi yangu imefadhaika sana; Na Wewe, Bwana, hata lini?
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh--how long?
Bwana urudi, uniopoe nafsi yangu, Uniokoe kwa ajili ya fadhili zako.
Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, And save me for your loving kindness' sake.
Maana mautini hapana kumbukumbu lako; Katika kuzimu ni nani atakayekushukuru?
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
Nimechoka kwa kuugua kwangu; Kila usiku nakieleza kitanda changu; Nalilowesha godoro langu kwa machozi yangu.
I am weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears.
Jicho langu limeharibika kwa masumbufu, Na kuchakaa kwa sababu yao wanaoniudhi.
My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.
Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi nyote mtendao uovu; Kwa kuwa Bwana ameisikia sauti ya kilio changu.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
Bwana ameisikia dua yangu; Bwana atayatakabali maombi yangu.
Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
Adui zangu wote wataaibika na kufadhaika, Watarudi nyuma, kwa ghafula wataaibika.
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
