Psalms 138

1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, LORD, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

Ngizakubonga ngenhliziyo yami yonke; phambi kwabonkulunkulu ngizakuhlabelela indumiso.

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.

Ngizakhonza ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngidumise ibizo lakho ngenxa yothando lwakho langenxa yobuqotho bakho; ngoba ukhulisile ilizwi lakho phezu kwalo lonke ibizo lakho.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Ngosuku engakhala ngalo wangiphendula, wangiqinisa ngamandla emphefumulweni wami.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Wonke amakhosi omhlaba azakudumisa, Nkosi, ngoba azwile amazwi omlomo wakho.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.

Yebo, azahlabelela ngezindlela zeNkosi, ngoba lukhulu udumo lweNkosi.

6 For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

Loba iNkosi iphakeme, kube kanti iyabona othobekileyo; kodwa ozigqajayo iyamazi ekhatshana.

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.

Loba ngihamba phakathi kwenhlupheko, uzangiphilisa; uzakwelula isandla sakho umelana lolaka lezitha zami, lesandla sakho sokunene sizangisindisa.

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

INkosi izaphelelisa okumayelana lami; uthando lwakho, Nkosi, lumi kuze kube nininini. Ungatshiyi imisebenzi yezandla zakho.
