Psalms 108
1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.
9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Nazali kobeta milolo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa mokili ya Filisitia. »
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
