Psalms 138

1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

ElikaDavida. Ngizakudumisa, Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; phambi kwabo “nkulunkulu” ngizahlabelela udumo lwakho.

2 I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

Ngizakhothama ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele ngidumise ibizo lakho, ngenxa yothando lwakho lokuthembeka kwakho, ngoba uphakamise ngaphezu kwezinto zonke ibizo lakho lelizwi lakho.

3 In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

Ngabiza wena wangiphendula; wangenza ngaba lesibindi lenhliziyo eqinileyo.

4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

Sengathi wonke amakhosi omhlaba angakudumisa, Oh Thixo, lapho esizwa amazwi omlomo wakho.

5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

Sengathi bangahlabela ngezindlela zikaThixo ngoba inkazimulo kaThixo inkulu.

6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

Loba uThixo ephakeme, uyabananza abathobekileyo, kodwa abazigqajayo ubazi ekhatshana labo.

7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

Loba ngihamba phakathi kohlupho uyayilondoloza impilo yami; uyaselula isandla sakho ukungivikela elakeni lwezitha zami, ngesandla sakho sokunene uyangisindisa.

8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!

UThixo uzagcwalisa icebo lakhe ngami; uthando lwakho, Oh Thixo, lumi laphakade ungawutshiyi umsebenzi wezandla zakho.
