To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.
1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion:
And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
Ee Mungu, sifa zakulaiki katika Sayuni, Na kwako Wewe itaondolewa nadhiri.
2 O thou that hearest prayer,
Unto thee shall all flesh come.
Wewe usikiaye kuomba, Wote wenye mwili watakujia.
3 Iniquities prevail against me:
As for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Ingawa maovu mengi yanamshinda, Wewe utayafunika maasi yetu.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee ,
That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Heri mtu yule umchaguaye, Na kumkaribisha akae nyuani mwako. Na tushibe wema wa nyumba yako, Patakatifu pa hekalu lako.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;
Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
Kwa mambo ya kutisha utatujibu, Katika haki, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu. Wewe uliye tumaini la miisho yote ya dunia, Na la bahari iliyo mbali sana,
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
Being girded with power:
Milima waiweka imara kwa nguvu zako, Huku ukijifunga uweza kama mshipi.
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
Wautuliza uvumi wa bahari, Uvumi wa mawimbi yake, Na ghasia ya mataifa;
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Kwa hiyo wakaao mbali kabisa huogopa ishara zako; Milango ya asubuhi na jioni waifurahisha.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:
Thou greatly enrichest it
With the river of God, which is full of water:
Thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
Umeijilia nchi na kuisitawisha, Umeitajirisha sana; Mto wa Mungu umejaa maji; Wawaruzuku watu nafaka Maana ndiwe uitengenezaye ardhi.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: Thou settlest the furrows thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers: Thou blessest the springing thereof.
Matuta yake wayajaza maji; Wapasawazisha palipoinuka, Wailainisha nchi kwa manyunyu; Waibariki mimea yake.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
And thy paths drop fatness.
Umeuvika mwaka taji ya wema wako; Mapito yako yadondoza unono.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
And the little hills rejoice on every side.
Huyadondokea malisho ya nyikani, Na vilima vyajifunga furaha.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
The valleys also are covered over with corn; They shout for joy, they also sing.
Na malisho yamevikwa kondoo, Na mabonde yamepambwa nafaka, Yanashangilia, naam, yanaimba.
