Zaburi 108

1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.

A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.

I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.

For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.

6 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.

That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”

Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.

10 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?

Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.

Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.

Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
