2 Heri wale wanaozishika shuhuda zake, wamtafutao kwa moyo wao wote.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 Wasiofanya lolote lililo baya, wanaoenenda katika njia zake.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
82 Macho yangu yamefifia, nikingoja ahadi yako; ninasema, “Utanifajiri lini?”
Mine eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?
83 Ingawa nimekuwa kama kiriba kwenye moshi, bado sijasahau maagizo yako.
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
84 Mtumishi wako itampasa angoje mpaka lini? Ni lini utawaadhibu washtaki wangu?
How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 Wenye majivuno wananichimbia mashimo, kinyume na sheria yako.
The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after your law.
86 Amri zako zote ni za kuaminika; unisaidie, kwa sababu watu wananishtaki bila sababu.
All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me.
87 Walikaribia kabisa kunifuta kutoka uso wa dunia, lakini sijaacha mausia yako.

Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
91 Sheria zako zinadumu hadi leo, kwa kuwa vitu vyote vinakutumikia.
They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Kama nisingefurahia sheria yako, ningeangamia katika taabu zangu.
Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 Sitasahau mausia yako kamwe, kwa maana kwayo umehifadhi maisha yangu.
I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me.
94 Uniokoe, kwa maana mimi ni wako, kwa kuwa nimetafuta mausia yako.

I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
114 Wewe ni kimbilio langu na ngao yangu, nimeweka tumaini langu katika neno lako.
You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word.
115 Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi mtendao mabaya, ili niweze kushika amri za Mungu wangu!
Depart from me, all of you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Nihifadhi sawasawa na ahadi yako, nami nitaishi; usiache matumaini yangu yakavunjwa.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from your testimonies.
158 Ninawatazama wasioamini kwa chuki, kwa kuwa hawalitii neno lako.
