Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, kwa moyo wangu wote, mbele ya “miungu” nitaimba sifa zako.

2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

Nitasujudu nikielekea Hekalu lako takatifu, nami nitalisifu jina lako kwa ajili ya upendo wako na uaminifu, kwa kuwa umelikuza jina lako na neno lako juu ya vitu vyote.

3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

Nilipoita, ulinijibu; ulinifanya jasiri na mwenye moyo hodari.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

Wafalme wote wa dunia wakusifu wewe Ee Bwana, wakati wanaposikia maneno ya kinywa chako.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

Wao na waimbe kuhusu njia za Bwana, kwa maana utukufu wa Bwana ni mkuu.

6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

Ingawa Bwana yuko juu, humwangalia mnyonge, bali mwenye kiburi yeye anamjua kutokea mbali.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

Nijapopita katikati ya shida, wewe unayahifadhi maisha yangu, unanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, kwa mkono wako wa kuume unaniokoa.

8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

Bwana atatimiza kusudi lake kwangu, Ee Bwana, upendo wako wadumu milele: usiziache kazi za mikono yako.
