< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!
Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni yeye, enyi watumishi wa Yahwe; lisifuni jina la Yahwe.
2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.
Litukuzwe jina la Yahwe, tangu sasa na hata milele.
3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!
Toka maawio ya jua hata machweo yake, Jina la Yahwe lazima lisifiwe.
4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.
Yahwe ameinuliwa juu ya mataifa yote, na utukufu wake wafika juu mbinguni.
5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.
Ni nani aliye kama Yahwe Mungu wetu, aliye na kiti chake juu,
6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.
atazamaye chini angani na duniani?
7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.
Humwinua maskini toka mavumbini na kumpandisha muhitaji kutoka jaani,
8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.
ili amketishe pamoja na wakuu, pamoja na wakuu wa watu wake.
9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
Humpa watoto wanamke aliye tasa, humfanya yeye kuwa mama wa watoto mwenye furaha. Msifuni Yahwe!
