Zaburi 111

1 Msifuni Bwana. Nitamtukuza Bwana kwa moyo wangu wote, katika baraza la wanyofu na katika kusanyiko.

Alleluia. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

2 Kazi za Bwana ni kuu, wote wanaopendezwa nazo huzitafakari.

The works of the Lord are great, sought out according to all his will.

3 Kazi zake zimejaa fahari na utukufu, haki yake hudumu daima.

His work is [worthy of] thanksgiving and honor: and his righteousness endures for ever and ever.

4 Amefanya maajabu yake yakumbukwe, Bwana ni mwenye neema na huruma.

He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

5 Huwapa chakula wale wanaomcha, hulikumbuka agano lake milele.

He has given food to them that fear him: he will remember his covenant for ever.

6 Amewaonyesha watu wake uwezo wa kazi zake, akiwapa nchi za mataifa mengine.

He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 Kazi za mikono yake ni za uaminifu na haki, mausia yake yote ni ya kuaminika.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his commandments are sure:

8 Zinadumu milele na milele, zikifanyika kwa uaminifu na unyofu.

established for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 Aliwapa watu wake ukombozi, aliamuru agano lake milele: jina lake ni takatifu na la kuogopwa.

He sent redemption to his people: he commanded his covenant for ever: holy and fearful is his name.

10 Kumcha Bwana ndicho chanzo cha hekima, wote wanaozifuata amri zake wana busara. Sifa zake zadumu milele.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and all that act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever and ever.
