To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD;
And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Ee Bwana, mfalme atazifurahia nguvu zako, Na wokovu wako ataufanyia shangwe nyingi sana.
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
Umempa haja ya moyo wake, Wala hukumzuilia matakwa ya midomo yake.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:
Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
Maana umemsogezea baraka za heri, Umemvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him,
Even length of days for ever and ever.
Alikuomba uhai, ukampa, Muda mrefu wa siku nyingi, milele na milele.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation:
Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
Utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa wokovu wako, Heshima na adhama waweka juu yake.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:
Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
Maana umemfanya kuwa baraka za milele, Wamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uso wako.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Kwa kuwa mfalme humtumaini Bwana, Na kwa fadhili zake Aliye juu hataondoshwa.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:
Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
Mkono wako utawapata adui zako wote, Mkono wako wa kuume utawapata wanaokuchukia.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
The LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Utawafanya kuwa kama tanuru ya moto, Wakati wa ghadhabu yako. Bwana atawameza kwa ghadhabu yake, Na moto utawala.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,
And their seed from among the children of men.
Matunda yao utayaharibu na kuyaondoa katika nchi, Na wazao wao katika wanadamu.
11 For they intended evil against thee:
They imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform .
Madhali walinuia kukutenda mabaya, Waliwaza hila wasipate kuitimiza.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,
When thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Kwa maana utawafanya kukupa kisogo, Kwa upote wa uta wako ukiwaelekezea mishale.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:
So will we sing and praise thy power.
Ee Bwana, utukuzwe kwa nguvu zako, Nasi tutaimba na kuuhimidi uweza wako.
