1
Maskani zako zapendeza kama nini, Ee Bwana wa majeshi!
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2
Nafsi yangu imezionea shauku nyua za Bwana, Naam, na kuzikondea. Moyo wangu na mwili wangu Vinamlilia Mungu aliye hai.
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3
Shomoro naye ameona nyumba, Na mbayuwayu amejipatia kioto, Alipoweka makinda yake, Kwenye madhabahu zako, Ee Bwana wa majeshi, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4
Heri wakaao nyumbani mwako, Wanakuhimidi daima.
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah
5
Heri ambaye nguvu zake zatoka kwako, Na njia ziendazo Sayuni zimo moyoni mwake.
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6
Wakipita kati ya bonde la Vilio, Hulifanya kuwa chemchemi, Naam, mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7
Huendelea toka nguvu hata nguvu, Huonekana Sayuni kila mmoja mbele za Mungu.
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8
Bwana, Mungu wa majeshi, uyasikie maombi yangu, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, usikilize,
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
9
Ee Mungu, ngao yetu, uangalie, Umtazame uso masihi wako.
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10
Hakika siku moja katika nyua zako Ni bora kuliko siku elfu. Ningependa kuwa bawabu nyumbani mwa Mungu wangu, Kuliko kukaa katika hema za uovu.
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11
Kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu, ni jua na ngao, Bwana atatoa neema na utukufu. Hatawanyima kitu chema Hao waendao kwa ukamilifu.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12
Ee Bwana wa majeshi, Heri mwanadamu anayekutumaini Wewe.
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
