< Psalms 138 >
1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, Jehovah, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.
Nkunga Davidi. Ndiela kuzitisa, a Yave, mu ntimꞌama wumvimba; ndiela yimbila minzitusu miaku va ntuala zinzambi.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.
Ndiela buongama ku ndambu nzo aku yinlongo; ayi ndiela zitisa dizina diaku mu diambu di luzolu luaku ayi mu diambu di kikhuikizi kiaku bila ngeyo wuyayisidi dizina diaku ayi mambu maku va yilu bima bioso.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
Thangu nditela, ngeyo wuphana mvutu. Wukhitula nkua ngangu ayi nkua bukhafi bu ngolo.
4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Jehovah, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
Bika mintinu mioso mintoto mizitisa, a Yave bu miwilu mambu ma munu aku.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Jehovah; for great is Jehovah's glory.
Bika miyimbila zinzila zi Yave bila nkembo wu Yave widi wunneni.
6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
Ka diambu ko Yave widi wuzangama, niandi weti tala bobo beti kukikulula ayi zebi bumboti batu badi luniemo bu badi ku thama.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
Ka diambu ko ndilembo diatila va khatitsika ziphasi, ngeyo weti tanina luzingu luama; ngeyo weti nonuna koko kuaku mu kakidila zinganzi zi bobo beti kundenda; mu koko kuaku ku lubakala weti kuphukisila.
8 Jehovah will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Jehovah, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
Yave wela dukisa mambu momo keti tomba mu minu. Luzolo luaku, a Yave, lunzingilanga mu zithangu zioso. Kadi yekula bisalu bi mioko miaku.
