Banzembo 30

1 Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na libulisi ya Tempelo. Yawe, nanetoli Yo, pamba te obimisaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo mpe otikaki te banguna na ngai kosepela na tina na ngai.

A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

2 Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nabelelaki Yo mpo na kosenga lisungi, mpe obikisaki ngai na bokono.

O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

3 Yawe, obimisaki ngai na mboka ya bakufi, obatelaki bomoi na ngai mosika na bato oyo bazali kokita na libulu. (Sheol h7585)

O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, bino babulami na Ye; bokumisa Kombo na Ye ya bule.

Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

5 Pamba te kanda makasi na Ye ewumelaka mpo na mwa tango moke, kasi ngolu na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko; kolela ekoki kowumela kino na pokwa, kasi kosepela ekokota na tongo.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 Tango nazalaki na kimia, nalobaki: « Nakotikala kokweya te. »

In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”

7 Yawe, tango osalelaki ngai ngolu, olendisaki ngomba na ngai; kasi tango obombelaki ngai elongi, nabungisaki elikya.

O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 Yawe, nabelelaki Yo; nabelelaki Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi:

To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

9 « Litomba nini ezali soki nakufi, soki nakiti na libulu? Boni, putulu ekokumisa Yo? Boni, ekosakola boyengebene na Yo?

“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

10 Yawe, yoka ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu; Yawe, zala lisungi na ngai. »

Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”

11 Obongoli kolela na ngai, okomisi yango mabina; olongoli mokumba na ngai mpe olatisi ngai esengo,

You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12 mpo ete molimo na ngai ekumisa Yo na banzembo, kasi navanda nye te. Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nakokumisa Yo libela na libela.

that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
