Zaburi 138

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

Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

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.

and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

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

When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

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

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

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

For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

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

Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

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

The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
