To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.
1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
That there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Kuasi kwake yule mwovu hunena moyoni mwake, Hakuna hofu ya Mungu mbele ya macho yake.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
Kwa maana hujipendekeza machoni pake Kuwa upotovu wake hautaonekana na kuchukiwa.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
Maneno ya kinywa chake ni uovu na hila, Ameacha kuwa na akili na kutenda mema.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.
Huwaza maovu kitandani pake, Hujiweka katika njia mbaya; ubaya hauchukii.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
Ee Bwana, fadhili zako zafika hata mbinguni, Uaminifu wako hata mawinguni.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
Haki yako ni kama milima ya Mungu, Hukumu zako ni vilindi vikuu, Ee Bwana, unawaokoa wanadamu na wanyama.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Ee Mungu, jinsi zilivyo na thamani fadhili zako! Wanadamu huukimbilia uvuli wa mbawa zako.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
Watashibishwa kwa unono wa nyumba yako, Nawe utawanywesha mto wa furaha zako.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
Maana kwako Wewe iko chemchemi ya uzima, Katika nuru yako tutaona nuru.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee;
And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Uwadumishie wakujuao fadhili zako, Na wanyofu wa moyo uaminifu wako.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
Mguu wa kiburi usinikaribie, Wala mkono wa wasio haki usinifukuze.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen:
They are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
Huko ndiko walikoanguka wafanyao maovu; Wameangushwa chini wasiweze kusimama.
