To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
Heri amkumbukaye mnyonge; Bwana atamwokoa siku ya taabu.
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth:
And thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
Bwana atamlinda na kumhifadhi hai, Naye atafanikiwa katika nchi; Wala usimtie katika hali wamtakiayo adui zake.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
Bwana atamtegemeza alipo mgonjwa kitandani. Katika ugonjwa wake umemtandikia.
4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:
Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Nami nalisema, Bwana, unifadhili, Uniponye roho yangu maana nimekutenda dhambi.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die, and his name perish?
Adui zangu wananitaja kwa maneno mabaya, Atakufa lini, jina lake likapotea?
6 And if he come to see me , he speaketh vanity:
His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; When he goeth abroad, he telleth it .
Na mmoja wao akija kunitazama asema uongo, Moyo wake hujikusanyia maovu, Naye atokapo nje huyanena.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me:
Against me do they devise my hurt.
Wote wanaonichukia wananinong'ona, Wananiwazia mabaya.
8 An evil disease, say they , cleaveth fast unto him:
And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
Neno la kisirani limemgandama, Na iwapo amelala hatasimama tena.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Msiri wangu tena niliyemtumaini, Aliyekula chakula changu, Ameniinulia kisigino chake.
10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,
And raise me up, that I may requite them.
Lakini Wewe, Bwana, unifadhili, Uniinue nipate kuwalipa.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me,
Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Kwa neno hili nimejua ya kuwa wapendezwa nami, Kwa kuwa adui yangu hasimangi kwa kunishinda.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
And settest me before thy face for ever.
Nami katika ukamilifu wangu umenitegemeza, Umeniweka mbele za uso wako milele.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
From everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Na atukuzwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, Tangu milele hata milele. Amina na Amina.
