1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Aketiye mahali pa siri pake Aliye juu Atakaa katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:
My God; in him will I trust.
Nitasema, Bwana ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu nitakayemtumaini.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the noisome pestilence.
Maana Yeye atakuokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, Na katika tauni iharibuyo.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Kwa manyoya yake atakufunika, Chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio; Uaminifu wake ni ngao na kigao.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Hutaogopa hofu ya usiku, Wala mshale urukao mchana,
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Wala tauni ipitayo gizani, Wala uele uharibuo adhuhuri,
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
But it shall not come nigh thee.
Ijapo watu elfu waanguka ubavuni pako. Naam, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume! Hata hivyo hautakukaribia wewe.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
And see the reward of the wicked.
Ila kwa macho yako utatazama, Na kuyaona malipo ya wasio haki.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
Even the most High, thy habitation;
Kwa kuwa Wewe Bwana ndiwe kimbilio langu; Umemfanya Aliye juu kuwa makao yako.
10 There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Mabaya hayatakupata wewe, Wala tauni haitaikaribia hema yako.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
Kwa kuwa atakuagizia malaika zake Wakulinde katika njia zako zote.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mikononi mwao watakuchukua, Usije ukajikwaa mguu wako katika jiwe.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka, Mwana-simba na joka utawaseta kwa miguu.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Kwa kuwa amekaza kunipenda Nitamwokoa; na kumweka palipo juu, Kwa kuwa amenijua Jina langu.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
Ataniita nami nitamwitikia; Nitakuwa pamoja naye taabuni, Nitamwokoa na kumtukuza;
16 With long life will I satisfy him,
And shew him my salvation.
Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha, Nami nitamwonyesha wokovu wangu.
