Ee MUNGU, Mungu wangu, nitakutafuta mapema, Nafsi yangu inakuonea kiu, Mwili wangu wakuonea shauku, Katika nchi kame na uchovu, isiyo na maji.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
2
Ndivyo nilivyokutazama katika patakatifu, Nizione nguvu zako na utukufu wako.
So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
3
Maana fadhili zako ni njema kuliko uhai; Midomo yangu itakusifu.
Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
4
Ndivyo nitakavyokubariki maadamu ni hai; Kwa jina lako nitaiinua mikono yangu.
So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
5
Nafsi yangu itakinai kama kushiba mafuta na vinono; Kinywa changu kitakusifu kwa midomo ya furaha.
My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
6
Ninapokukumbuka kitandani mwangu, Nakutafakari Wewe makesha yote ya usiku.
When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
7
Maana Wewe umekuwa msaada wangu, Na uvulini mwa mbawa zako nitashangilia.
For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
8
Nafsi yangu inakuandama sana; Mkono wako wa kuume unanitegemeza.
My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9
Bali waitafutao nafsi yangu, ili kuiharibu, Wataingia pande za nchi zilizo chini.
But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
10
Watatolewa wafe kwa nguvu za upanga, Watakuwa riziki za mbwa-mwitu.
They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
11
Bali mfalme atamfurahia Mungu, Kila aapaye kwa Yeye atashangilia, Kwa maana vinywa vya waongo vitafumbwa.
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
