1 Davidi ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo.
And Dauid spake the woordes of this song vnto the Lord, what time the Lord had deliuered him out of the handes of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
2 Alobaki: Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai;
And he sayd, The Lord is my rocke and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth mee.
3 azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, nguya oyo ebikisaka ngai, ekimelo na ngai, mpe Mobikisi na ngai. Okangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.
God is my strength, in him will I trust: my shielde, and the horne of my saluation, my hie tower and my refuge: my Sauiour, thou hast saued me from violence.
4 Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
5 Mbonge ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo,
For the pangs of death haue compassed me: the floods of vngodlinesse haue made mee afrayd.
The sorowes of the graue compassed mee about: the snares of death ouertooke mee. (Sheol h7585)
7 Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, nagangaki epai ya Nzambe na ngai mpo ete asunga ngai. Yawe ayokaki mongongo na ngai wuta na Tempelo na Ye, koganga na ngai mpo na kosenga lisungi ekomaki kino na matoyi na Ye.
But in my tribulation did I call vpon the Lord, and crie to my God, and he did heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crie did enter into his eares.
8 Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya Lola elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
Then the earth trembled and quaked: the foundations of the heauens mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
9 Milinga ekomaki kobima na zolo na Ye, moto makasi elongo na makala ya moto ekomaki kobima na monoko na Ye.
Smoke went out at his nostrels, and consuming fire out of his mouth: coles were kindled thereat.
10 Afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki, mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
He bowed the heauens also, and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
11 Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and hee was seene vpon the winges of the winde.
12 Akomisaki molili oyo ezingelaki Ye mpe mapata ya mwindo ya likolo, Ndako na Ye.
And hee made darkenesse a Tabernacle round about him, euen the gatherings of waters, and the cloudes of the ayre.
13 Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kobimisa makala ya moto.
At the brightnesse of his presence the coles of fire were kindled.
14 Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki.
The Lord thundred from heauen, and the most hie gaue his voyce.
15 Abwakaki makonga na Ye, mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
He shot arrowes also, and scattered them: to wit, lightning, and destroyed them.
16 Na koganga ya Yawe mpe na pema ya zolo na Ye, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, mpe miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
The chanels also of the sea appeared, euen the foundations of the worlde were discouered by the rebuking of the Lord, and at the blast of the breath of his nostrels.
17 Atandaki loboko na Ye wuta na likolo, akamataki ngai mpe abimisaki ngai na likama oyo nazalaki na yango kati na mayi ya mozindo makasi.
He sent from aboue, and tooke me: hee drewe me out of many waters.
18 Akangolaki ngai wuta na maboko ya monguna na ngai ya nguya mpe ya bayini na ngai, pamba te balekaki ngai na makasi.
He deliuered me from my strong enemie, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Babundisaki ngai na mokolo oyo pasi ezalaki kokanga ngai, kasi Yawe azalaki eyekamelo na ngai.
They preuented me in the day of my calamitie, but the Lord was my stay,
20 Abimisaki ngai mpo na kokomisa ngai nsomi, akangolaki ngai, pamba te alingaka ngai.
And brought me foorth into a large place: he deliuered me, because he fauoured me.
21 Yawe asalelaki ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afutaki ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai.
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse: according to the purenesse of mine handes he recompensed me.
22 Pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.

23 Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
For all his lawes were before me, and his statutes: I did not depart therefrom.

26 Solo, otalisaka bosembo na Yo epai ya moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo, mpe bolamu na Yo, epai ya moto oyo azangi pamela.
With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
27 Otalisaka bopeto na Yo epai ya moto ya peto, kasi omibombaka liboso ya moto oyo atambolaka nyoka-nyoka.
With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the frowarde thou wilt shew thy selfe frowarde.
28 Obikisaka banyokolami, otalaka mpe okitisaka bato na lofundu.

29 Oh Yawe, ozali mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
Surely thou art my light, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkenes.
30 Elongo na Yo, nabundisaka mampinga oyo elati bibundeli; mpe na lisungi ya Nzambe na ngai, nakatisaka bamir.
For by thee haue I broken through an hoste, and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.
31 Nzela ya Nzambe ezali ya kokoka, Liloba na Yawe ezali na mbeba te; azali nguba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
The way of God is vncorrupt: the word of the Lord is tryed in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
32 Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie, saue our God?
33 Ezali Nzambe nde azali ndako na ngai ya makasi, abatelaka nzela na ngai mpe akomisaka yango polele liboso na ngai;
God is my strength in battel, and maketh my way vpright.
34 akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and hath set me vpon mine hie places.
35 alakisaka ngai kobunda, mpe maboko na ngai ekoki kobenda tolotolo ya bronze.
He teacheth mine handes to fight, so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
36 Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy louing kindnesse hath caused me to increase.
37 Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
Thou hast inlarged my steppes vnder me, and mine heeles haue not slid.
38 Nalandaka banguna na ngai mpe nabomaka bango, nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
I haue pursued mine enemies and destroyed them, and haue not turned againe vntill I had consumed them.
39 Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
Yea, I haue consumed them and thrust them through, and they shall not arise, but shall fall vnder my feete.
40 Opesaka ngai makasi ya bitumba, ogumbaka banguna na ngai mpe otiaka bango na se ya matambe na ngai.
For thou hast girded me with power to battell, and them that arose against me, hast thou subdued vnder me.
41 Okimisaka banguna na ngai mosika na ngai, mpe nabebisaka bayini na ngai.
And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Bagangaka mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi moto oyo akokaki kobikisa bango azalaka te; babelelaka Yawe, kasi ayanolaka bango te.
They looked about, but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not.
43 Nanikaka bango lokola putulu ya mabele, nafinaka bango, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
Then did I beate them as small as the dust of the earth: I did treade them flat as the clay of the streete, and did spread them abroad.
44 Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
Thou hast also deliuered me from the contentions of my people: thou hast preserued me to be the head ouer nations: the people which I knewe not, doe serue me.
45 Bapaya bazali koya mpo ete nasepela na bango; soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai.
Strangers shalbe in subiection to me: assoone as they heare, they shall obey me.
46 Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
47 Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe, libanga ya lobiko na ngai, anetolama!
Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength: and God, euen the force of my saluation be exalted.
48 Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
It is God that giueth me power to reuenge me, and subdue the people vnder me,
49 akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
And rescueth me from mine enemies: (thou also hast lift me vp from them that rose against me, thou hast deliuered me from the cruell man.
50 Yango wana, nakosanzola Yo, Yawe, kati na bikolo, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord amog the nations, and will sing vnto thy Name)
51 Yawe apesaka elonga monene epai ya mokonzi na Ye, atalisaka bolingo na Ye epai ya mopakolami na Ye, epai ya Davidi mpe libota na ye mpo na libela.
He is the tower of saluation for his King, and sheweth mercie to his anointed, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
