1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
Because his mercy endureth for ever.
Haleluya. Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kuwa ni mwema, Kwa maana fadhili zake ni za milele.
2 Let Israel now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
Israeli na aseme sasa, Ya kwamba fadhili zake ni za milele.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
Mlango wa Haruni na waseme sasa, Ya kwamba fadhili zake ni za milele.
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say,
That his mercy endureth for ever.
Wamchao Bwana na waseme sasa, Ya kwamba fadhili zake ni za milele.
5 I called upon the LORD in distress:
The LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
Katika shida yangu nalimwita Bwana; Bwana akanijibu akaniweka panapo nafasi.
6 The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear: What can man do unto me?
Bwana yuko upande wangu, sitaogopa; Mwanadamu atanitenda nini?
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
Bwana yuko upande wangu, msaidizi wangu, Kwa hiyo nitawaona wanaonichukia wameshindwa.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.
Ni heri kumkimbilia Bwana Kuliko kuwatumainia wanadamu.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes.
Ni heri kumkimbilia Bwana. Kuliko kuwatumainia wakuu.
10 All nations compassed me about:
But in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
Mataifa yote walinizunguka; Kwa jina la Bwana naliwakatilia mbali.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Walinizunguka, naam, walinizunguka; Kwa jina la Bwana naliwakatilia mbali.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Walinizunguka kama nyuki, Walizimika kama moto wa miibani; Kwa jina la Bwana naliwakatilia mbali.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall:
But the LORD helped me.
Ulinisukuma sana ili nianguke; Lakini Bwana akanisaidia.
14 The LORD is my strength and song,
And is become my salvation.
Bwana ni nguvu zangu na wimbo wangu, Naye amekuwa wokovu wangu.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous:
The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Sauti ya furaha na wokovu Imo hemani mwao wenye haki; Mkono wa kuume wa Bwana hutenda makuu.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted:
The right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Mkono wa kuume wa Bwana umetukuzwa; Mkono wa kuume wa Bwana hutenda makuu.
17 I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the LORD.
Sitakufa bali nitaishi, Nami nitayasimulia matendo ya Bwana.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore:
But he hath not given me over unto death.
Bwana ameniadhibu sana, Lakini hakuniacha nife.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
Nifungulieni malango ya haki, Nitaingia na kumshukuru Bwana.
20 This gate of the LORD,
Into which the righteous shall enter.
Lango hili ni la Bwana, Wenye haki ndio watakaoliingia.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me,
And art become my salvation.
Nitakushukuru kwa maana umenijibu, Nawe umekuwa wokovu wangu.
22 The stone which the builders refused
Is become the head stone of the corner.
Jiwe walilolikataa waashi Limekuwa jiwe kuu la pembeni.
23 This is the LORD's doing;
It is marvellous in our eyes.
Neno hili limetoka kwa Bwana, Nalo ni ajabu machoni petu.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Siku hii ndiyo aliyoifanya Bwana, Tutashangilia na kuifurahia.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD:
O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Ee Bwana, utuokoe, twakusihi; Ee Bwana, utufanikishe, twakusihi.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD:
We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Na abarikiwe yeye ajaye kwa jina la Bwana; Tumewabarikia toka nyumbani mwa Bwana.
27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
Bwana ndiye aliye Mungu, Naye ndiye aliyetupa nuru. Ifungeni dhabihu kwa kamba Pembeni mwa madhabahu.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
Ndiwe Mungu wangu, nami nitakushukuru, Ndiwe Mungu wangu, nami nitakutukuza.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kuwa ni mwema, Kwa maana fadhili zake ni za milele.
