A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Ee Bwana, nitakutukuza kwa maana umeniinua, Wala hukuwafurahisha adui zangu juu yangu.
2 O LORD my God,
I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, Nalikulilia ukaniponya.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Umeniinua nafsi yangu, Ee Bwana, kutoka kuzimu. Umenihuisha na kunitoa Miongoni mwao washukao shimoni.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his,
And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Mwimbieni Bwana zaburi, Enyi watauwa wake. Na kufanya shukrani. Kwa kumbukumbu la utakatifu wake.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Maana ghadhabu zake ni za kitambo kidogo, Katika radhi yake mna uhai. Huenda kilio huja kukaa usiku, Lakini asubuhi huwa furaha.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
Nami nilipofanikiwa nalisema, Sitaondoshwa milele.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
Bwana, kwa radhi yako Wewe uliuimarisha mlima wangu. Uliuficha uso wako, Nami nikafadhaika.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD;
And unto the LORD I made supplication.
Ee Bwana, nalikulilia Wewe, Naam, kwa Bwana naliomba dua.
9 What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee?
Shall it declare thy truth?
Mna faida gani katika damu yangu Nishukapo shimoni? Mavumbi yatakusifu? Yataitangaza kweli yako?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me:
LORD, be thou my helper.
Ee Bwana, usikie, unirehemu, Bwana, uwe msaidizi wangu.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Uligeuza matanga yangu kuwa machezo; Ulinivua gunia, ukanivika furaha.
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Ili utukufu wangu ukusifu, Wala usinyamaze. Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, Nitakushukuru milele.
