< Zaburi 108 >

1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches to the clouds.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, 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 strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
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?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Give 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 valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
