Nimpazie Mungu sauti yangu, Naam, nimpazie Mungu, naye atanisikia.
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
2
Siku ya taabu yangu nalimtafuta Bwana; Mkono wangu ulinyoshwa usiku, haukulegea; Nafsi yangu ilikataa kufarijika.
In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
3
Nilipotaka kumkumbuka Mungu nalifadhaika; Nilipotaka kutafakari roho yangu ilizimia.
I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah
4
Ulizishika kope za macho yangu zisifumbike; Naliona mashaka nisiweze kunena.
You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5
Nalifikiri habari za siku za kale, Miaka ya zamani zilizopita.
I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
6
Nakumbuka wimbo wangu usiku, Nawaza moyoni mwangu, Roho yangu ikatafuta.
At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
7
Je! Bwana atatupa milele na milele? Hatatenda fadhili tena kabisa?
“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
8
Rehema zake zimekoma hata milele? Ahadi yake imekwisha hata vizazi vyote?
Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
9
Mungu amesahau fadhili zake? Amezuia kwa hasira rehema zake?
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah
10
Nikasema, Ndio udhaifu wangu huo; Lakini nitaikumbuka miaka ya mkono wa kuume wake Aliye juu.
So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11
Nitayakumbuka matendo ya Bwana; Naam, nitayakumbuka maajabu yako ya kale.
I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
12
Pia nitaitafakari kazi yako yote; Nitaziwaza habari za matendo yako.
I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
13
Ee Mungu, njia yako i katika utakatifu; Ni nani aliye mungu mkuu kama Mungu?
Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14
Wewe ndiwe Mungu ufanyaye maajabu; Uliudhihirisha uweza wako kati ya mataifa.
You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
15
Kwa mkono wako umewakomboa watu wako, Wana wa Yakobo na Yusufu.
With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16
Ee Mungu, yale maji yalikuona, Yale maji yalikuona, yakaogopa. Vilindi vya maji navyo vikatetemeka,
The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
17
Mawingu yakamwaga maji. Mbingu nazo zikatoa sauti, Mishale yako nayo ikatapakaa.
The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18
Sauti ya radi yako ikawa katika kisulisuli; Umeme uliuangaza ulimwengu. Nchi ilitetemeka na kutikisika;
Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19
Njia yako ilikuwa katika bahari. Na mapito yako yalikuwa katika maji makuu; Hatua zako hazikujulikana.
Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
20
Uliwaongoza watu wako kama kundi, Kwa mkono wa Musa na Haruni.
You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
