Zaburi 138

1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, kwa moyo wangu wote, mbele ya “miungu” nitaimba sifa zako.

Of David - I will give thanks to you with all heart my before [the] gods I will sing praises to you.

2 Nitasujudu nikielekea Hekalu lako takatifu, nami nitalisifu jina lako kwa ajili ya upendo wako na uaminifu, kwa kuwa umelikuza jina lako na neno lako juu ya vitu vyote.

I will bow down to [the] temple of holiness your so I may give thanks to name your on covenant loyalty your and on faithfulness your for you have made great over all name your word your.

3 Nilipoita, ulinijibu; ulinifanya jasiri na mwenye moyo hodari.

On [the] day [when] I called out and you answered me you made bold me in soul my strength.

4 Wafalme wote wa dunia wakusifu wewe Ee Bwana, wakati wanaposikia maneno ya kinywa chako.

They will give thanks to you O Yahweh all [the] kings of [the] earth if they have heard [the] words of mouth your.

5 Wao na waimbe kuhusu njia za Bwana, kwa maana utukufu wa Bwana ni mkuu.

So they may sing in [the] ways of Yahweh for [is] great [the] glory of Yahweh.

6 Ingawa Bwana yuko juu, humwangalia mnyonge, bali mwenye kiburi yeye anamjua kutokea mbali.

For [is] exalted Yahweh and [the] lowly he sees and [the] proud from a distance he knows.

7 Nijapopita katikati ya shida, wewe unayahifadhi maisha yangu, unanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, kwa mkono wako wa kuume unaniokoa.

If I will walk - in [the] midst of trouble you preserve alive me on [the] anger of enemies my you stretch out hand your and it saves me right [hand] your.

8 Bwana atatimiza kusudi lake kwangu, Ee Bwana, upendo wako wadumu milele: usiziache kazi za mikono yako.

Yahweh he will avenge for me O Yahweh covenant loyalty your [is] for ever [the] works of hands your may not you abandon.
