(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.
Eindilo, Kalunga a xupife movafininiki
Eimbilo, Epsalome laDavid.
1 Kalunga, omutima wange owa tiluluka.
Onda hala okwiimba nokushika.
Penduka, omwenyo wange!
2 Yambukeni, onyalilo nokaxumbafeta!
Onda hala okupendula eluwa.
3 Omwene, onda hala oku ku tanga
mokati koiwana yoilongo,
onda hala ndi ku imbile komaludi ovapaani;
4 osheshi ouwanghenda woye otau lundu eulu,
noudiinini woye otau koya oilemo.
5 Kalunga, fikama u liyeke fiyo okombada yeulu,
nefimano loye kombada yedu alishe!
6 Tu kwafa nolulyo loye,
ovaholike voye fye opo tu xupifwe, tu uda.
7 Mouyapuki waye Kalunga okwa tonga ta ti:
“Onda hala, ndi kaluke nda findana,
onda hala okutavaula Sekem
nokuyeleka, apa pe fike oule wolufilu laSukkot.
8 Gilead oshange naManasse oshange
naEfraim oshikelelifo shokomutwe wange,
naJuda odibopangelo yange.
9 Moab oshiyaxa shange shokulikoshela,
kombada yaEdom ohandi ekele ko eenghaku dange;
nohandi nyakukilwa Filistia.”
10 Olyelye ta twala nge mbela koshilando sha pama?
Olyelye wokufindikila nge kuEdom?
11 Haave ou, we tu ekelashi, Kalunga,
haave ito ende vali pamwe neengudu d
ovakwaita detu, Kalunga?
12 Tu xupifa kovatondi vetu;
osheshi ekwafo lomunhu olongaho.
13 Pamwe naKalunga ohatu ka ninga oilonganghono;
osheshi naYe mwene ota ka lyataula ovatondi vetu.
