< Zaburi 138 >
1 Nitakushukuru kwa moyo wangu wote; mbele ya miungu nitakuimbia sifa.
Of David - I will give thanks to you with all heart my before [the] gods I will sing praises to you.
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 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 Siku ile niliyo kuita, ulinijibu; ulinitia moyo na kuitia nguvu nafsi yangu.
On [the] day [when] I called out and you answered me you made bold me in soul my strength.
4 Wafalme wote wa nchi watakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, maana watasikia maneno kutoka kinywani mwako.
They will give thanks to you O Yahweh all [the] kings of [the] earth if they have heard [the] words of mouth your.
5 Hakika, wataimba kuhusu matendo ya Yahwe, kwa kuwa utukufu wa Yahwe ni mkuu.
So they may sing in [the] ways of Yahweh for [is] great [the] glory of Yahweh.
6 Maana ingawa Yahwe yuko juu, lakini anawajali wanyenyekevu, lakini hawatambui wenye majivuno.
For [is] exalted Yahweh and [the] lowly he sees and [the] proud from a distance he knows.
7 Nijapopita katikati ya hatari, wewe utauhifadhi uhai wangu; utanyoosha mkono wako dhidi ya hasira ya adui zangu, na mkono wako wa kuume utaniokoa.
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 Yahwe yuko pamoja nami hadi mwisho; uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, wadumu milele. Usiwaache wale ambao mikono yako imewaumba.
Yahweh he will avenge for me O Yahweh covenant loyalty your [is] for ever [the] works of hands your may not you abandon.
