1 Bwana ni nuru yangu na wokovu wangu,

nimwogope nani?

Bwana ni ngome ya uzima wangu,

nimhofu nani?

2 Waovu watakaposogea dhidi yangu

ili wanile nyama yangu,

adui zangu na watesi wangu watakaponishambulia,

watajikwaa na kuanguka.

3 Hata jeshi linizunguke pande zote,

moyo wangu hautaogopa;

hata vita vitokee dhidi yangu,

hata hapo nitakuwa na ujasiri.
