< 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 psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
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, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
