(Sung in Kiswahili)
See your praise, see your mercy over me
See your blessings, all around look at me
Umenizunguka kila upande, kama umande
(You have surrounded me on every side, like dew)
Umenipa kutembea kifua mbele, kama afande
(You have given me to walk with my chest forward, like a commander)
Pre-Refrain:
Ona watesi, hawaamini macho yao (Look, the oppressors do not believe their eyes)
Adui, sinasi kwenye mitego yao (Enemies, I am not trapped in their traps)
Hawajui, kwako mi n kama mboni (They do not know, to You I am like the pupil of an eye)
Hawanifikii, umenificha ndani (They cannot reach me, You have hidden me inside)
Refrain:
For sure mikononi mwako niko salama (I am safe in Your hands)
Tufani na pepo zavuma siwezi zama ( I cannot sink though storms and winds blow)
Mishale ni mingi na bado niko sana (The arrows are many and I’m still alive)
Hawajui, umenificha ndani (They do not know, You have hidden me)
Uhakika wa kesho ninao si dana dana (I have certainty of tomorrow)
Naona muujiza kila nikijitazama (I see a miracle every time I look at myself)
Mishale ni mingi na bado nipo sana (The arrows are many and I’m still alive)
Hawajui, umenificha ndani (They do not know, You have hidden me inside)
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoyoyo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yo (Repeat)
Vinatii, vile ninaamuru vinakuwa mbinguni (They obey; what I command comes to be in heaven)
Napokanyaga kwangu panakuwa (Where I step becomes mine)
Sihofi yanayowaangusha wengi mi kwango nd’o daraja
(I do not fear what makes many fall, for me it is a bridge)
Mabaya yanayokusudiwa yanaleta mema (What was intended for ill has brought me good)
(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)
Yo yo yo, yo yo yoyoyo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yo (Repeat)
