(A song by David for worship.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2 “The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3 would have killed us all,
because it was furious.
4 We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5 of high and roaring waves.”
6 Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
who were like wild animals,
7 and we escaped like birds
from a hunter's torn net.
8 The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.
Omuxupifi wOvaisraeli na hambelelwe!
Eimbilo lomolweendo lokuya kouyapuki, laDavid.
1 Omwene ngeno okwa li ina ama kufye,
Israel osho na tye;
2 Omwene ngeno ka amene kufye,
ovanhu eshi kwa li ve tu shivila olwoodi,
3 ngeno vo ove tu pona po hamudilu tu nomwenyo,
eshi ehandu lavo kwa li le tu xwamenena;
4 opo ngeno nomeva eyelu e tu yelula,
nomulonga ngeno we tu kungulukila;
5 neemwenyo detu da uvikilwa ngeno
komakufikufi omeva madjuu.
6 Omwene na hambelelwe,
eshi ine tu yandja tu nyanyaulwe komayoo avo.
7 Eemwenyo detu oda xutuluka ngaashi okadila,
ke likufa melulo lomuteli womwiyo, elulo ola tokoka,
ndele fye otwa yululuka mo.
8 Ekwafo letu oli li medina lOmwene,
ou omushiti weulu nedu.
