1
Ni neno jema kumshukuru Bwana, Na kuliimbia jina lako, Ee Uliye juu.
A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2
Kuzitangaza rehema zako asubuhi, Na uaminifu wako wakati wa usiku.
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3
Kwa chombo chenye nyuzi kumi, Na kwa kinanda, Na kwa mlio wa kinubi.
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4
Kwa kuwa umenifurahisha, Bwana, Kwa kazi yako; nitashangilia Kwa ajili ya matendo ya mikono yako.
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5
Ee Bwana, jinsi yalivyo makuu matendo yako! Mawazo yako ni mafumbo makubwa.
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6
Mtu mjinga hayatambui hayo, Wala mpumbavu hayafahamu.
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7
Wasio haki wakichipuka kama majani Na wote watendao maovu wakistawi. Ni kwa kusudi waangamizwe milele;
that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8
Bali Wewe, Bwana, U Mtukufu hata milele.
But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9
Maana hao adui zako, Ee Bwana, Hao adui zako watapotea, Na watendao maovu watatawanyika wote pia.
For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10
Bali pembe yangu umeiinua kama pembe ya nyati, Nimepakwa mafuta mabichi.
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11
Na jicho langu limewatazama walioniotea, Sikio langu limesikia habari za waovu walionishambulia.
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
12
Mwenye haki atasitawi kama mtende, Atakua kama mwerezi wa Lebanoni.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13
Waliopandwa katika nyumba ya Bwana Watasitawi katika nyua za Mungu wetu.
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14
Watazaa matunda hadi wakati wa uzee, Watajaa utomvu, watakuwa na ubichi.
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15
Watangaze ya kuwa Bwana ni mwenye adili, Mwamba wangu, ndani yake hamna udhalimu.
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
