Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

Salimo la Davide. Ndidzakuyamikani Yehova ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzayimba nyimbo zokutamandani pamaso pa “milungu.”

2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Ndidzagwada kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera ndipo ndidzayamika dzina lanu chifukwa cha chikondi chanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu, pakuti Inu mwakuza dzina lanu ndi mawu anu kupambana zinthu zonse.

3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

Pamene ndinayitana, munandiyankha; munandisandutsa wamphamvu ndi wolimba mtima.

4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

Mafumu onse a dziko lapansi akuyamikeni Yehova, pamene amva mawu a pakamwa panu.

5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

Iwo ayimbe za njira za Yehova, pakuti ulemerero wa Yehova ndi waukulu.

6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

Ngakhale kuti Yehova ngokwezeka, amasamalira odzichepetsa, koma anthu onyada amawadziwira chapatali.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Ngakhale ndiyende pakati pa masautso, mumasunga moyo wanga; mumatambasula dzanja lanu kutsutsana ndi mkwiyo wa adani anga, mumandipulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja.

8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Yehova adzakwaniritsa cholinga chake pa ine; chikondi chanu chosasinthika Yehova, ndi chosatha musasiye ntchito ya manja anu.
