Zaburi 108

1 Ee Mungu, moyo wangu u thabiti; nitaimba, naam, nitaimba sifa pia kwa moyo mkuu.

Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.

2 Amka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

3 Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, kati ya watu; nitakuimbia sifa kati ya mataifa.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.

4 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu juu ya mbingu; na uaminifu wako wafika mawinguni.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

5 Ee Mungu, uinuliwe, juu ya mbingu, na utukufu wako utukuke juu ya nchi.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

6 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waokolewe, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.

That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;

7 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake; “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na nitalipima bonde la Sukothi.

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

8 Gileadi ni yangu, na manase ni yangu; Ephraimu ni nguvu ya kichwa changu; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.

Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

9 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; nitatupa kiatu changu juu ya Edomu; nitapaza sauti katika ushindi kwa ajili ya Filisti.

Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

10 Ni nani atakaye nipeleka kwenye mji imara? Ni nani atakayeniongoza mpaka Edomu?”

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

11 Ee Mungu, sio wewe uliyetukataa? Hauendi vitani na jeshi letu.

Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Utupe msaada dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa wanadamu ni bure.

Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.

13 Tutashinda kwa msaada wa Mungu; atawakanyaga kwa adui zetu.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
