< Psalms 138 >
1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.
Nitakushukuru kwa moyo wangu wote; mbele ya miungu nitakuimbia sifa.
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.
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 I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
Siku ile niliyo kuita, ulinijibu; ulinitia moyo na kuitia nguvu nafsi yangu.
4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.
Wafalme wote wa nchi watakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, maana watasikia maneno kutoka kinywani mwako.
5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.
Hakika, wataimba kuhusu matendo ya Yahwe, kwa kuwa utukufu wa Yahwe ni mkuu.
6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.
Maana ingawa Yahwe yuko juu, lakini anawajali wanyenyekevu, lakini hawatambui wenye majivuno.
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.
Nijapopita katikati ya hatari, wewe utauhifadhi uhai wangu; utanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, na mkono wako wa kuume utaniokoa.
8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
Yahwe yuko pamoja nami hadi mwisho; uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, wadumu milele. Usiwaache wale ambao mikono yako imewaumba.
