84 Mtumishi wako itampasa angoje mpaka lini? Ni lini utawaadhibu washtaki wangu?
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 Wenye majivuno wananichimbia mashimo, kinyume na sheria yako.
The proud have digged pits for me, who are not after thy law.
86 Amri zako zote ni za kuaminika; unisaidie, kwa sababu watu wananishtaki bila sababu.

Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
157 Adui wanaonitesa ni wengi, lakini mimi sitaziacha sheria zako.
Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; [yet] have I not swerved from they testimonies.
158 Ninawatazama wasioamini kwa chuki, kwa kuwa hawalitii neno lako.

I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
175 Nijalie kuishi ili nipate kukusifu, na sheria zako zinitegemeze.
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 Nimetangatanga kama kondoo aliyepotea. Mtafute mtumishi wako, kwa kuwa sijasahau amri zako.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
