Zaburi 138

1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Abiro paki gi chunya duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; abiro paki gi wer e nyim nyiseche.

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 Abiro kulora piny ka achomo hekalu mari maler kendo abiro pako nyingi, nikech herani kod adierani, nimar isetingʼo nyingi kod Wachni malo moyombo gik moko duto.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 Kane aluongo to ne idwoka, kendo ne imiyo abedo gi chir kod chuny motegno.

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 Mad ruodhi duto mag piny paki, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, e sa ma giwinjo weche mowuok e dhogi.

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 Mad giwer kuom yore mag Jehova Nyasaye, nimar duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ngʼongo.

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Jehova Nyasaye rango joma obolore kata obedo ni en malo to josunga to ongʼeyo kata kapod gin gichien.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Kata obedo ni awuotho e dier chandruok, to irito ngimana; irieyo lweti kuom mirimb joma kedo koda, kendo iresa gi lweti ma korachwich.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 Jehova Nyasaye biro chopona chenroge; yaye Jehova Nyasaye, herani osiko nyaka chiengʼ: kik ijwangʼ tije ma iloso gi lweti.

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
