< 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. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.
4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!
6 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion 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.
Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
10 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
