(A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”)
God Is in Control
1 You people may be strong
and brag about your sins,
but God can be trusted
day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,
and your lying words cut
like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil
than good, and tell lies
than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,
and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!
He will grab you and drag you
from your homes.
You will be uprooted
and left to die.
6 When good people see
this fearsome sight,
they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!
Instead of trusting God,
they trusted their wealth
and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God's house,
and I can count on his love
forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God
for what he has done;
I will praise his good name
when his people meet.

1 Mo rihivire tjike nourunde woye,

Orusuvero rwa Ndjambi ru karerera

2 Ove u ripura nokutjita oumba kovakweṋu;

Ove aruhe u kora ovizeze.
3 Wa suvera ourunde pouwa,

4 Wa suvera okuhihamisa ovakweṋu

5 Ndjambi me ku yandeke nga aruhe;

6 Ovasemba mave munu otjiṋa hi

7 “Tareye, ingwi eye omurumendu

ma rire ondjamo ye,
nungwari moruveze rwanao we riyameka

nu a wama mourunde we.”
8 Nungwari ami mba muna ondjeverero

9 Ami me ku tanga nga aruhe, Ndjambi,

Me zuvarisa ena roye momurungu wotjiwaṋa tjoye,
ove tjinga au ri omuwa.
