Banzembo 138

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Nasanzolaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; nayembelaka Yo banzembo liboso ya banzambe.

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

2 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.

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.

3 Na mokolo oyo nabelelaki Yo, oyanolaki ngai, otondisaki ngai na mpiko mpe na makasi.

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

4 Yawe, bakonzi nyonso ya mabele bakokumisa Yo tango bakoyoka maloba kobima na monoko na Yo;

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

5 bakoyemba na tina na banzela ya Yawe, pamba te nkembo na Yawe ezali monene.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

6 Atako Yawe atombwama, atalaka bato oyo bamikitisa mpe amonaka na mosika bato ya lolendo.

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

7 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.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 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!

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
