Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

Ngizakubonga ngenhliziyo yami yonke; phambi kwabonkulunkulu ngizakuhlabelela indumiso.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Ngizakhonza ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngidumise ibizo lakho ngenxa yothando lwakho langenxa yobuqotho bakho; ngoba ukhulisile ilizwi lakho phezu kwalo lonke ibizo lakho.

3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

Ngosuku engakhala ngalo wangiphendula, wangiqinisa ngamandla emphefumulweni wami.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Wonke amakhosi omhlaba azakudumisa, Nkosi, ngoba azwile amazwi omlomo wakho.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

Yebo, azahlabelela ngezindlela zeNkosi, ngoba lukhulu udumo lweNkosi.

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

Loba iNkosi iphakeme, kube kanti iyabona othobekileyo; kodwa ozigqajayo iyamazi ekhatshana.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

Loba ngihamba phakathi kwenhlupheko, uzangiphilisa; uzakwelula isandla sakho umelana lolaka lezitha zami, lesandla sakho sokunene sizangisindisa.

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

INkosi izaphelelisa okumayelana lami; uthando lwakho, Nkosi, lumi kuze kube nininini. Ungatshiyi imisebenzi yezandla zakho.
