Psalms 138

1 Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

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

2 and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

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.

3 When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

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

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

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

5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

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

6 For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

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

7 Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

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

8 The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.

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