(Sung in Swahili – A Psalm)

Bwana ni mchungaji wangu (The Lord is my Shepherd)
Sitapungukiwa kitu (I shall not want)
Hun’laza penye majani mabichi (He makes me lie down in green pastures)
Hun’ongoza kwa maji matulivu (He leads me beside still waters)

Hunihuisha nafsi yangu (He restores my soul)
Hun’ongoza kwa njia za haki (He leads me in paths of righteousness)
Nipitapo bondeni mwa mauti (Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death)
Sitaogopa yeye u nami (I will fear no evil, for you are with me)

Refrain:
Hakika wema nazo fadhili (Surely your goodness and mercy)
Zitanifuata mimi (Shall follow me)
Nitakaa nyumbani mwa bwana (I will dwell in the house of the Lord)
Siku zote za maisha yangu (All the days of my life) (Repeat)

Gongo lako na fimbo yako (Your rod and your staff)
Vinanifariji mimi (They comfort me)
Waandaa meza mbele yangu (You prepare a table before me)
Machoni pa watesi wangu (In the presence of my enemies)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Nainua macho yangu, niitazame, nitazame milimani
(I lift up my eyes and look to the hills)
Msaada, msaada wangu we watoka wapi Ee ni kwa baba, ni kwa baba
(Where does my help come from? From the Father)
Nainua macho yangu, niitazame, nitazame milimani
(I lift up my eyes and look to the hills)
Msaada, msaada wangu we watoka wapi Ee ni kwa baba, ni kwa baba
(Where does my help come from? From the Father)

Asema njoo, njoo, asema njoo upate pumziko
(He says come, come to my rest)
Asema njoo, jongea, asema njoo upate pumziko
(He says come, come to my rest)
Fadhili zangu ni za milele, huba langu halina kikomo
(My mercies and love are forever)
Mimi ndimi simba wa yuda, mimi ndimi ngome yako
(I am the Lion of Judah, and your stronghold)

(Chorus)

Heri awe nawe, awe nawe, heri awe nawe, mambo yote shwari
(It is good for him to abide in you, and everything will be peaceful)
Heri awe nawe, awe nawe, mambo yote shwari, mikononi mwake
(It is good for him to abide in you, and everything in his hand will be peaceful)
Viumbe vyote vyamtukuza, Mchana kutwa usiku kucha
(All creation praise him, day and night)
Yeye ndiye muweza yote, hakuna limshindalo Mola
(He is all in all, nothing defeats God)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili: The Shepherd’s Psalm – Psalm 23)

Bwana mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa (The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not Want)
katika malisho ya majani, mabichi hunilaza (He makes me to lie down in green pastures)
Kwa maji matulivu, yeye huniongoza (He leads me beside the still waters.)
Kwa uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa kamwe (Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid)

Repeat:
Umeniandalia, meza mbele yangu (You have prepared a table before me)
Machoni pa watesi wangu, Bwana huniongoza (Before my enemies, Lord )
Huisha nafsi yangu, katika njia za haki (He leads me in the paths of righteousness)
Kwa ajili ya jina lako, wewe upo nami (For His name’s sake, You are with me) (Repeat)

Nimekukimbilia, Baba Mungu wangu (I have run to You, Father my God)
Nisiaibike, mbele za watesi wangu (That I may not be ashamed before my enemies)
Wewe upo nami, gongo na fimbo yako (You are with me, Your rod and Your Staff)
Vyanifariji Baba, Sitaogopa kamwe (Comfort me Father, I shall not be afraid)

(Refrain)

Umenipaka mafuta, kichwani mwangu (You anoint my head with oil)
Kikombe kinafurika, machoni pa watesi wangu (My cup runs over, in front of my enemies)
Wema nazo fadhili, zitanifuata (Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me)
Siku zote za maisha yangu, nyumbani mwako milele (All the days of my life; In Your House forever)
