Bwana, Mungu wangu, nimekukimbilia Wewe, Uniokoe na wote wanaonifuatia, uniponye.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2
Asije akaipapura nafsi yangu kama simba, Akiivunja-vunja pasipokuwa na wa kuponya.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3
Bwana, Mungu wangu, ikiwa nimetenda haya, Ikiwa mna uovu mikononi mwangu,
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4
Ikiwa nimemlipa mabaya Yeye aliyekaa kwangu salama; (Hasha! Nimemponya yeye Aliyekuwa mtesi wangu bila sababu;)
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5
Basi adui na anifuatie, Na kuikamata nafsi yangu; Naam, aukanyage uzima wangu, Na kuulaza utukufu wangu mavumbini.
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
6
Bwana uondoke kwa hasira yako; Ujiinue juu ya jeuri ya watesi wangu; Uamke kwa ajili yangu; Umeamuru hukumu.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7
Kusanyiko la mataifa na likuzunguke, Na juu yake uketi utawale.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8
Bwana atawaamua mataifa, Bwana, unihukumu mimi, Kwa kadiri ya haki yangu, Sawasawa na unyofu nilio nao.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9
Ubaya wao wasio haki na ukome, Lakini umthibitishe mwenye haki. Kwa maana mjaribu mioyo na viuno Ndiye Mungu aliye mwenye haki.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10
Ngao yangu ina Mungu, Awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11
Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Naam, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12
Mtu asiporejea ataunoa upanga wake; Ameupinda uta wake na kuuweka tayari;
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13
Naye amemtengenezea silaha za kufisha, Akifanya mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14
Tazama, huyu ana utungu wa uovu, Amechukua mimba ya madhara, amezaa uongo.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15
Amechimba shimo, amelichimba chini sana, Akatumbukia katika handaki aliyoifanya!
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16
Madhara yake yatamrejea kichwani pake, Na dhuluma yake itamshukia utosini.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17
Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa kadiri ya haki yake; Nitaliimbia jina la Bwana aliye juu.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
