Zaburi 108
1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
A canticle of a psalm for David himself. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.
2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.
4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over 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 hear me.
7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8 Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:
9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
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 into Edom?
11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
