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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
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 us.
7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [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] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
