(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 Our Lord, your mighty power
makes the king glad,
and he celebrates victories
that you have given him.
2 You did what he wanted most
and never told him “No.”
3 You truly blessed the king,
and you placed on him
a crown of finest gold.
4 He asked to live a long time,
and you promised him life
that never ends.
5 The king is highly honored.
You have let him win victories
that have made him famous.
6 You have given him blessings
that will last forever,
and you have made him glad
by being so near to him.
7 Lord Most High,
the king trusts you,
and your kindness
keeps him from defeat.
8 With your mighty arm, Lord,
you will strike down all
of your hateful enemies.
9 They will be destroyed by fire
once you are here,
and because of your anger,
flames will swallow them.
10 You will wipe their families
from the earth,
and they will disappear.
11 All their plans to harm you
will come to nothing.
12 You will make them run away
by shooting your arrows
at their faces.
13 Show your strength, Lord,
so that we may sing
and praise your power.
Ongumbiro youtoṋi
Komuimburise. Epsalme ra David.
1 Muhona, ombara mai

nu mai yorokere ondoṋeno ndji we i pa.
2 Ove wa yenenisa onḓero yomutima wayo,

3 Ove we i tjakanena nozondaya nouṋingandu,
nu kotjiuru tjayo o twako ekori rouhona rongoldo.
4 Oyo ya ningira omuinyo kove,

5 Ondangu yayo onene mena rombatero yoye,

6 Ove we i sera ondaya nga aruhe,

9 Ove tji we riraisa,

Muhona ove mo ve nyono momazenge woye

10 Ove mo yandeke ozondekurona

11 Tji mave ku pirukire nourizemburuka wourunde,

13 Matu tanga omasa woye omanene, Muhona!
Eṱe otji matu imbura nokutanga omasa woye.
