2 Wamebarikiwa wale wazishikao amri zake thabiti, wamtafutao kwa moyo wao wote.
Blessed are those who examine his testimonies. They seek him with their whole heart.
3 Hawatendi makosa; wanaenenda katika njia zake.
For those who work iniquity have not walked in his ways.
4 Wewe umetuamuru kuyashika maagizo yako ili tuyachunguze kwa umakini.
You have ordered your commandments to be kept most diligently.

My soul has faltered in your salvation, yet in your word, I have hoped beyond hope.
82 Macho yangu yanatamani sana kuiona ahadi yako; ni lini utanifariji mimi?
My eyes have failed in your eloquence, saying, “When will you console me?”
83 Kwa maana nimekuwa kama kiriba katika moshi; sisahau sheria zako.
For I have become like a wineskin in the frost. I have not forgotten your justifications.
84 Ni kwa muda gani gani mtumishi wako atalazimika kuyavumilia haya; ni lini utawahukumu wale wanaonitesa?
How many are the days of your servant? When will you bring judgment against those who persecute me?
85 Wenye kiburi wamenichimbia shimo, wasiotii sheria yako.
The iniquitous have spoken fables to me. But these are unlike your law.
86 Amri zako zote ni za kuaminika; wale watu walinitesa bila ya haki; unisaidie.
All your commandments are truth. They have been persecuting me unjustly: assist me.
87 karibu kunifanya nifikie mwisho juu ya nchi hii, lakini siyakatai maagizo yako.
They have nearly consumed me on earth. Yet I have not forsaken your commandments.

By your ordinance, the day perseveres. For all things are in service to you.
92 Kama sheria yako isingekuwa furaha yangu, ningeangamia katika mateso yangu.
If your law had not been my (meditation) then perhaps I would have perished in my humiliation.

109 Uhai wangu ziku zote uko mkononi mwangu, lakini bado sisahau sheria yako.
My soul is always in my hands, and I have not forgotten your law.
110 Waovu wamenitegea mtego, lakini sijapotea mbali na maagizo yako.
Sinners have set a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from your commandments.
111 Nimezifanya amri za agano lako kama urithi wangu milele, maana hizo ni furaha ya moyo wangu.
I have acquired your testimonies as an inheritance unto eternity, because they are the exultation of my heart.
112 Moyo wangu umewekwa kuzitii sheria zako milele mpaka mwisho kabisa. SAMEKH.

I have hated the iniquitous, and I have loved your law.
114 Wewe ni ficho langu na ngao yangu; nalingoja neno lako.
You are my helper and my supporter. And in your word, I have greatly hoped.
115 Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi mtendao uovu, ili niweze kuzitii amri za Mungu wangu.
Turn away from me, you malignant ones. And I will examine the commandments of my God.

117 Unisaidie, nami nitakuwa salama; siki zote nitazitafakari sheria zako.
Help me, and I will be saved. And I will meditate always on your justifications.
118 Wewe huwakataa wale wote wapoteao mbali na sheria zako, maana watu hao ni wadanganyifu na si wakuaminika.
You have despised all those who fell away from your judgments. For their intention is unjust.
119 Wewe huwaondoa waovu wa nchi kama takataka; kwa hiyo ninazipenda amri zako thabiti.

Pierce my flesh with your fear, for I am afraid of your judgments.
121 Ninafanya kilicho sahihi na haki; usiniache kwa watesi wangu.
I have accomplished judgment and justice. Do not hand me over to those who slander me.

137 Wewe ni mwenye haki, Yahwe, na amri zako ni haki.
You are just, O Lord, and your judgment is right.
138 Umezipa amri za agano lako haki na uaminifu.
You have commanded justice: your testimonies and your truth even more so.
139 Hasira imeniangamiza kwa sababu adui zangu husahau maneno yako.
My zeal has caused me to pine away, because my enemies have forgotten your words.
140 Neno lako limepimwa sana, naye mtumishi wako analipenda.

145 Nililia kwa moyo wangu wote, “Unijibu, Yahwe, nitazishika sheria zako.
I cried out with my whole heart. Heed me, O Lord. I will ask for your justifications.
146 Ninakuita wewe; uniokoe, nami nitazitii amri za agano lako.”
I cried out to you. Save me, so that I may keep your commandments.
147 NInaamka asubuhi kabla jua halijachomoza na kulia kwa ajili ya msaada.
I arrived first in maturity, and so I cried out. For in your words, I have hoped beyond hope.
148 Ninatumaini katika maneno yako. Macho yangu yako wazi usiku kucha ili niweze kutafakari juu ya neno lako.
My eyes preceded the dawn for you, so that I might meditate on your eloquence.
149 Sikia sauti yangu katika uaminifu wa agano lako; uniweke hai, Yahwe, kama ulivyoahidi katika amri zako za haki.
Hear my voice according to your mercy, O Lord. And revive me according to your judgment.
150 Wale wanaonitesa wananikaribia, lakini wako mbali na sheria yako.
Those who persecute me have drawn near to iniquity, but they have been brought far from your law.
151 Wewe uko karibu, Yahwe, na amri zako ni za kuaminika.
You are near, O Lord, and all your ways are truth.
152 Muda mrefu uliopita nilijifunza kutoka katika amri za agano lako ulizoziweka katika mahali pa milele. RESH.
I have known from the beginning about your testimonies. For you founded them in eternity.
153 Uyatazame mateso yangu na unisaidie, maana siisahau sheria yako.
See my humiliation and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your law.
154 Unitetee na kunikomboa; unihifadhi, kama ulivyo ahidi katika neno lako.
Judge my judgment and redeem me. Revive me because of your eloquence.
155 Wokovu uko mbali na waovu, maana hawazipendi amri zako.
Salvation is far from sinners, because they have not inquired about your justifications.
156 Matendo yako ya huruma ni makuu, Yahwe; uniweke hai; kama ufanyavyo siku zote.
Many are your mercies, O Lord. Enliven me according to your judgment.
157 Watesi wangu na adui zangu ni wengi, lakini bado sijaenda mbali na amri za agano lako.
Many are those who persecute me and who trouble me. I have not turned away from your testimonies.
158 Nimewaona wasaliti wakitia kinyaa kwa sababu hawalishiki neno lako.
I saw the prevaricators, and I pine away. For they have not kept your word.

The beginning of your words is truth. All the judgments of your justice are for eternity.
161 Wakuu hunitesa bila sababu; moyo wangu hutetemeka, ukiogopa kutolitii neno lako.
The leaders have persecuted me without cause. And my heart has been awed by your words.
162 Ninalifurahia neno lako kama apataye nyara nyingi.
I will rejoice over your eloquence, like one who has found many spoils.
163 Ninachukia na kudharau uongo, lakini naipenda sheria yako.
