1 Praise ye the LORD: For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
For it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
Haleluya. Msifuni Bwana; Maana ni vema kumwimbia Mungu wetu, Maana kwapendeza, kusifu ni kuzuri.
2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem:
He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
Bwana ndiye aijengaye Yerusalemu, Huwakusanya waliotawanyika wa Israeli.
3 He healeth the broken in heart,
And bindeth up their wounds.
Huwaponya waliopondeka moyo, Na kuziganga jeraha zao.
4 He telleth the number of the stars;
He calleth them all by their names.
Huihesabu idadi ya nyota, Huzipa zote majina.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:
His understanding is infinite.
Bwana wetu ni mkuu na mwingi wa nguvu, Akili zake hazina mpaka.
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek:
He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
Bwana huwategemeza wenye upole, Huwaangusha chini wenye jeuri.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving;
Sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
Mwimbieni Bwana kwa kushukuru, Mwimbieni Mungu wetu kwa kinubi.
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,
Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
Huzifunika mbingu kwa mawingu, Huitengenezea nchi mvua, Na kuyameesha majani milimani.
9 He giveth to the beast his food,
And to the young ravens which cry.
Humpa mnyama chakula chake, Wana-kunguru waliao.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
Hapendezwi na nguvu za farasi, Wala hairidhii miguu ya mtu.
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
In those that hope in his mercy.
Bwana huwaridhia wao wamchao, Na kuzitarajia fadhili zake.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem;
Praise thy God, O Zion.
Msifu Bwana, Ee Yerusalemu; Msifu Mungu wako, Ee Sayuni.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
He hath blessed thy children within thee.
Maana ameyakaza mapingo ya malango yako, Amewabariki wanao ndani yako.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders,
And filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
Ndiye afanyaye amani mipakani mwako, Akushibishaye kwa unono wa ngano.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:
His word runneth very swiftly.
Huipeleka amri yake juu ya nchi, Neno lake lapiga mbio sana.
16 He giveth snow like wool:
He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
Ndiye atoaye theluji kama sufu, Huimwaga barafu yake kama majivu,
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
Who can stand before his cold?
Hutupa mvua ya mawe kama makombo, Mbele ya baridi yake ni nani awezaye kusimama?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
Hulituma neno lake na kuviyeyusha, Huuvumisha upepo wake, maji yakatiririka.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob,
His statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Humhubiri Yakobo neno lake, Na Israeli amri zake na hukumu zake.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation:
And as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the LORD.
Hakulitendea taifa lo lote mambo kama hayo, Wala hukumu zake hawakuzijua. Haleluya.
