Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

2 Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

3 Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.

in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.

His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

5 Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,

6 Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

7 Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,

He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

8 Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.

The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

9 Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.

The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

10 Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.

The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
