(A song and a psalm by David.)
With God on Our Side
1 Our God, I am faithful to you
with all my heart,
and you can trust me.
I will sing
and play music for you
with all that I am.
2 I will start playing my harps
before the sun rises.
3 I will praise you, Lord,
for everyone to hear;
I will sing hymns to you
in every nation.
4 Your love reaches higher
than the heavens,
and your loyalty extends
beyond the clouds.
5 Our God, may you be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
6 Answer my prayers
and use your powerful arm
to give us victory.
Then the people you love
will be safe.
7 Our God, from your holy place
you made this promise:
“I will gladly divide up
the city of Shechem
and give away Succoth Valley
piece by piece.
8 The lands of Gilead
and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
and Judah is my symbol
of royal power.
9 Moab is merely my washbasin,
and Edom belongs to me.
I shout with victory
over the Philistines.”
10 Our God, who will bring me
to the fortress
or lead me to Edom?
11 Have you rejected us?
You don't lead our armies.
12 Help us defeat our enemies!
No one else can rescue us.
13 Only you give us victory
and crush our enemies.

1 Omutima wandje we riyameke kove, Ndjambi!
Ami me imbura nokukutanga!
Penduka, muinyo wandje!
2 Pendukeye, ngoma notjiharpe tjandje!
Ami me pendura enyunguhuka pe tje,
3 Muhona, ami me ku tanga

nu me ku imburire mokati komihoko.
4 Orusuvero rwoye orukarerere rwa

nouṱakame woye wa kaṱuna nga kevaverwa.
5 Raisa ounene woye meyuru, Ndjambi,
nouvara woye kombanda yehi arihe.
6 Tu vatera momasa woye;

kokutja otjiwaṋa tji wa suvera tji yamwe.
7 Ndjambi wa hungirira motjouyapuke tje a tja:
“Mondoṋeno yandje ami me haṋa Sikem,
nu me sanekere otjiwaṋa tjandje
otjana tja Sukot.
8 Gilead orandje, Manasse owandje wina,
nu Efraim eye ekori randje rovita;
Juda eye okati kandje kouhona.
9 Moab eye otjiyaha tjandje tjomerikohero;
nu me yumbu orukaku rwandje kOedom,
otja otjiraisiro tjokutja eye owandje omuini.
Ami me yorokere Filisti otja ngu mbi ri omutoṋe.”
10 Owaṋi, Ndjambi, ngu me ndji

Owaṋi ngu me ndji ṱike kOedom?
11 Kaove, Ndjambi, are ngu we tu nakaurire?
Kaove are ngu mo kayenda puna

12 Tu vatera komunavita,

13 Ndjambi tje ri puna eṱe, matu toṋa;
eye omuini ongu ma tombo ovanavita na eṱe.
