1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
Haleluya. Enyi watumishi wa Bwana, sifuni, Lisifuni jina la Bwana.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and for evermore.
Jina la Bwana lihimidiwe Tangu leo na hata milele.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
The LORD's name is to be praised.
Toka maawio ya jua hata machweo yake Jina la Bwana husifiwa.
4 The LORD is high above all nations,
And his glory above the heavens.
Bwana ni mkuu juu ya mataifa yote, Na utukufu wake ni juu ya mbingu.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Ni nani aliye mfano wa Bwana, Mungu wetu aketiye juu;
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
Anyenyekeaye kutazama, Mbinguni na duniani?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
Humwinua mnyonge kutoka mavumbini, Na kumpandisha maskini kutoka jaani.
8 That he may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of his people.
Amketishe pamoja na wakuu, Pamoja na wakuu wa watu wake.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
And to be a joyful mother of children.
Praise ye the LORD.
Huweka nyumbani mwanamke aliye tasa, Awe mama ya watoto mwenye furaha.
