The Lord Takes Care of His Creation
1 I praise you, Lord God,
with all my heart.
You are glorious and majestic,
dressed in royal robes
2 and surrounded by light.
You spread out the sky
like a tent,
3 and you built your home
over the mighty ocean.
The clouds are your chariot
with the wind as its wings.
4 The winds are your messengers,
and flames of fire
are your servants.
5 You built foundations
for the earth, and it
will never be shaken.
6 You covered the earth
with the ocean that rose
above the mountains.
7 Then your voice thundered!
And the water flowed
8 down the mountains
and through the valleys
to the place you prepared.
9 Now you have set boundaries,
so that the water will never
flood the earth again.
10 You provide streams of water
in the hills and valleys,
11 so that the donkeys
and other wild animals
can satisfy their thirst.
12 Birds build their nests nearby
and sing in the trees.
13 From your home above
you send rain on the hills
and water the earth.
14 You let the earth produce
grass for cattle,
plants for our food,
15 wine to cheer us up,
olive oil for our skin,
and grain for our health.
16 Our Lord, your trees
always have water,
and so do the cedars
you planted in Lebanon.
17 Birds nest in those trees,
and storks make their home
in the fir trees.
18 Wild goats find a home
in the tall mountains,
and small animals can hide
between the rocks.
19 You created the moon
to tell us the seasons.
The sun knows when to set,
20 and you made the darkness,
so the animals in the forest
could come out at night.
21 Lions roar as they hunt
for the food you provide.
22 But when morning comes,
they return to their dens,
23 then we go out to work
until the end of day.
24 Our Lord, by your wisdom
you made so many things;
the whole earth is covered
with your living creatures.
25 But what about the ocean
so big and wide?
It is alive with creatures,
large and small.
26 And there are the ships,
as well as Leviathan,
the monster you created
to splash in the sea.
27 All of these depend on you
to provide them with food,
28 and you feed each one
with your own hand,
until they are full.
29 But when you turn away,
they are terrified;
when you end their life,
they die and rot.
30 You created all of them
by your Spirit,
and you give new life
to the earth.
31 Our Lord, we pray
that your glory
will last forever
and that you will be pleased
with what you have done.
32 You look at the earth,
and it trembles.
You touch the mountains,
and smoke goes up.
33 As long as I live,
I will sing and praise you,
the Lord God.
34 I hope my thoughts
will please you,
because you are the one
who makes me glad.
35 Destroy all wicked sinners
from the earth
once and for all.
With all my heart
I praise you, Lord!
I praise you!

nomalaka omundilo oo ovapiya voye.
5 Edu owe li shitila keengudi dalo,

9 Opo we a taulilile eengaba edi itaa tauluka,

16 Omiti dOmwene otadi likumifa nokunwa,

18 Eemhunda dile oda shitilwa oupundja,
noikulundudu oyo ehondameno louyelemani.
19 Ohani okwe i shita, i yeleke omafimbo,
etango oli shii efimbo tali ningine.
20 Ngeenge to undulile po omulaulu,

21 Eenghoshona otadi kumbile okulya,

22 Etango nge tali piti, otadi shuna

23 Opo nee omunhu ota piti, a ye koilonga yaye,

24 Omwene, oilonga yoye oi fike peni!
Aishe owe i shita nounongo,

25 Efuta opo li li linene

omo mu yadi ndoondoo oinamwenyo
itai dulika okuvalwa, ei inini naai yakula.
26 Omo notamu ende eeskepa,

ei wa shitila okudanauka mo.
27 Aishe oyo, otai ku teelele,
Ove u i pe eendja pefimbo la yuka;
28 Ove ngeenge to i pe, yo otai toola;
ngeenge to kamutuluka eke loye,
otai likutifa nouwa.
29 Ove to holeke oshipala shoye,
oyo otai haluka;
Ove to kufa mo omuku wayo,
opo otai shuna vali mondwi yedu, omu ya dja.
30 Ngeenge to pitifa mo omufudo wOmhepo yoye,
opo yo otai shitwa ipe,
noshitwe yedu oto i shitulula ipe.
31 Efimano lOmwene otali kala po fiyo alushe!
Omwene na hafele oilonga yaye!
32 Ngeenge ta konenene edu, otali kakama,
ngeenge ta kumu eemhunda,
do tadi twimaana omwifi.
33 Ame onda hala okwiimbila Omwene,
fimbo ndi nomwenyo,
nokutanga Kalunga kange, fimbo ndi li po.
34 Eshipululo lange nali mu wapalele.
Ohandi hafele mOmwene.
35 Ovalunde, ngeno nava kombololwe po kombada yedu,
novadinikalunga vaha kale po vali.
Omwenyo wange, tanga Omwene!
Halleluya!
