Psalms 138

1 A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Nasanzolaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; nayembelaka Yo banzembo liboso ya banzambe.

2 I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

Nagumbamaka na kotala na ngambo ya Tempelo na Yo ya Bule mpe nasanzolaka Kombo na Yo mpo na bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo, pamba te osalaki ete Kombo na Yo ekende sango na nzela ya kokokisama ya bilaka na Yo.

3 On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

Na mokolo oyo nabelelaki Yo, oyanolaki ngai, otondisaki ngai na mpiko mpe na makasi.

4 All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

Yawe, bakonzi nyonso ya mabele bakokumisa Yo tango bakoyoka maloba kobima na monoko na Yo;

5 They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

bakoyemba na tina na banzela ya Yawe, pamba te nkembo na Yawe ezali monene.

6 Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

Atako Yawe atombwama, atalaka bato oyo bamikitisa mpe amonaka na mosika bato ya lolendo.

7 Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

Tango pasi ekweyelaka ngai, obatelaka bomoi na ngai, osembolaka loboko na Yo mpo na kotelemela kanda ya banguna na ngai; mpe loboko na Yo ya mobali ebikisaka ngai.

8 The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!

Yawe akokisaka makambo nyonso mpo na bolamu na ngai. Yawe, bolingo na Yo ewumelaka seko na seko! Kosundola te bato oyo osala na maboko na Yo!
