< Zaburi 108 >

1 Ee Mungu, moyo wangu u thabiti; nitaimba, naam, nitaimba sifa pia kwa moyo mkuu.
A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
2 Amka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, kati ya watu; nitakuimbia sifa kati ya mataifa.
I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
4 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu juu ya mbingu; na uaminifu wako wafika mawinguni.
For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
5 Ee Mungu, uinuliwe, juu ya mbingu, na utukufu wako utukuke juu ya nchi.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, 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 answer us.
7 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake; “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na nitalipima bonde la Sukothi.
God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
8 Gileadi ni yangu, na manase ni yangu; Ephraimu ni nguvu ya kichwa changu; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.
Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
9 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; nitatupa kiatu changu juu ya Edomu; nitapaza sauti katika ushindi kwa ajili ya Filisti.
Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
10 Ni nani atakaye nipeleka kwenye mji imara? Ni nani atakayeniongoza mpaka Edomu?”
Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Ee Mungu, sio wewe uliyetukataa? Hauendi vitani na jeshi letu.
Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Utupe msaada dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa wanadamu ni bure.
Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
13 Tutashinda kwa msaada wa Mungu; atawakanyaga kwa adui zetu.
We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
