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.

Nitakushukuru kwa moyo wangu wote; mbele ya miungu nitakuimbia sifa.

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.

Nitasujundu mbele ya hekalu lako takatifu na kulishukuru jina lako kwa ajili ya uaminifu wa agano lako na kwa uaminifu wako. Umelifanya muhimu zaidi neno lako na jina lako kuliko kitu chochote.

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

Siku ile niliyo kuita, ulinijibu; ulinitia moyo na kuitia nguvu nafsi yangu.

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

Wafalme wote wa nchi watakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, maana watasikia maneno kutoka kinywani mwako.

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

Hakika, wataimba kuhusu matendo ya Yahwe, kwa kuwa utukufu wa Yahwe ni mkuu.

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

Maana ingawa Yahwe yuko juu, lakini anawajali wanyenyekevu, lakini hawatambui wenye majivuno.

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.

Nijapopita katikati ya hatari, wewe utauhifadhi uhai wangu; utanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, na mkono wako wa kuume utaniokoa.

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

Yahwe yuko pamoja nami hadi mwisho; uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, wadumu milele. Usiwaache wale ambao mikono yako imewaumba.
