Bwana ametamalaki, nchi na ishangilie, Visiwa vingi na vifurahi.
Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
Mawingu na giza vyamzunguka, Haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake.
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Moto hutangulia mbele zake, Nao huwateketeza watesi wake pande zote.
A fire goes before him, And burns up his adversaries on every side.
Umeme wake uliuangaza ulimwengu, Nchi ikaona ikatetemeka.
His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
Milima iliyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, Mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Mbingu zimetangaza haki yake, Na watu wote wameuona utukufu wake.
The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
Na waaibishwe wote waabuduo sanamu, Wajivunao kwa vitu visivyofaa; Enyi miungu yote, msujuduni Yeye.
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, Who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
Sayuni imesikia na kufurahi, Binti za Yuda walishangilia, Kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of your judgments, Yahweh.
Maana Wewe, Bwana, ndiwe Uliye juu, Juu sana kuliko nchi yote; Umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
Enyi mmpendao Bwana, uchukieni uovu; Huwalinda nafsi zao watauwa wake, Na kuwaokoa na mkono wa wasio haki.
You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Nuru imemzukia mwenye haki, Na furaha wanyofu wa moyo.
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
Enyi wenye haki, mmfurahieni Bwana, Na kulishukuru jina lake takatifu.
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
