Zaburi 39

¹Nilisema, “Nitaziangalia njia zangu

²Lakini niliponyamaza kimya na kutulia,

³Moyo wangu ulipata moto ndani yangu,

⁴“Ee Bwana, nijulishe mwisho wa maisha yangu

⁵Umefanya maisha yangu mafupi kama pumzi;

⁶Hakika kila binadamu ni kama njozi

⁷“Lakini sasa Bwana, nitafute nini?

⁸Niokoe kutoka kwenye makosa yangu yote,

⁹Nilinyamaza kimya,

¹⁰Niondolee mjeledi wako,

¹¹Unakemea na kuadhibu wanadamu

¹²“Ee Bwana, usikie maombi yangu,

¹³Tazama mbali nami, ili niweze kufurahi tena
