Zaburi 138

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

[A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee.

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 will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

In the day when I cried thou didst answer me, [and] strengthen me [with] strength in 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 shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

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

Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is] the glory of the LORD.

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

Though the LORD [is] high, yet hath he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

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 I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

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

The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works thy own hands.
