< Psalms 138 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nasanzolaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; nayembelaka Yo banzembo liboso ya banzambe.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Nagumbamaka na kotala na ngambo ya Tempelo na Yo ya Bule mpe nasanzolaka Kombo na Yo mpo na bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo, pamba te osalaki ete Kombo na Yo ekende sango na nzela ya kokokisama ya bilaka na Yo.
3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
Na mokolo oyo nabelelaki Yo, oyanolaki ngai, otondisaki ngai na mpiko mpe na makasi.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Yawe, bakonzi nyonso ya mabele bakokumisa Yo tango bakoyoka maloba kobima na monoko na Yo;
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.
bakoyemba na tina na banzela ya Yawe, pamba te nkembo na Yawe ezali monene.
6 For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.
Atako Yawe atombwama, atalaka bato oyo bamikitisa mpe amonaka na mosika bato ya lolendo.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
Tango pasi ekweyelaka ngai, obatelaka bomoi na ngai, osembolaka loboko na Yo mpo na kotelemela kanda ya banguna na ngai; mpe loboko na Yo ya mobali ebikisaka ngai.
8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
Yawe akokisaka makambo nyonso mpo na bolamu na ngai. Yawe, bolingo na Yo ewumelaka seko na seko! Kosundola te bato oyo osala na maboko na Yo!
