To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Ee Bwana, hata lini utanisahau, hata milele? Hata lini utanificha uso wako?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Hata lini nifanye mashauri nafsini mwangu, Nikihuzunika moyoni mchana kutwa? Hata lini adui yangu atukuke juu yangu?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, uangalie, uniitikie; Uyatie nuru macho yangu, Nisije nikalala usingizi wa mauti.
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
Adui yangu asije akasema, Nimemshinda; Watesi wangu wasifurahi ninapoondoshwa.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
Nami nimezitumainia fadhili zako; Moyo wangu na uufurahie wokovu wako.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Naam, nimwimbie Bwana, Kwa kuwa amenitendea kwa ukarimu.
