Zaburi 138

1 Nitakushukuru kwa moyo wangu wote; mbele ya miungu nitakuimbia sifa.

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

2 Nitasujundu mbele ya hekalu lako takatifu na kulishukuru jina lako kwa ajili ya uaminifu wa agano lako na kwa uaminifu wako. Umelifanya muhimu zaidi neno lako na jina lako kuliko kitu chochote.

I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

3 Siku ile niliyo kuita, ulinijibu; ulinitia moyo na kuitia nguvu nafsi yangu.

When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

4 Wafalme wote wa nchi watakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, maana watasikia maneno kutoka kinywani mwako.

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

5 Hakika, wataimba kuhusu matendo ya Yahwe, kwa kuwa utukufu wa Yahwe ni mkuu.

And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

6 Maana ingawa Yahwe yuko juu, lakini anawajali wanyenyekevu, lakini hawatambui wenye majivuno.

For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

7 Nijapopita katikati ya hatari, wewe utauhifadhi uhai wangu; utanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, na mkono wako wa kuume utaniokoa.

Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

8 Yahwe yuko pamoja nami hadi mwisho; uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, wadumu milele. Usiwaache wale ambao mikono yako imewaumba.

The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
