(By David.)
A Prayer for Help
1 Only you, Lord,
are a mighty rock!
Don't refuse to help me
when I pray.
If you don't answer me,
I will soon be dead.
2 Please listen to my prayer
and my cry for help,
as I lift my hands
toward your holy temple.
3 Don't drag me away, Lord,
with those cruel people,
who speak kind words,
while planning trouble.
4 Treat them as they deserve!
Punish them for their sins.
5 They don't pay any attention
to your wonderful deeds.
Now you will destroy them
and leave them in ruin.
6 I praise you, Lord,
for answering my prayers.
7 You are my strong shield,
and I trust you completely.
You have helped me,
and I will celebrate
and thank you in song.
8 You give strength
to your people, Lord,
and you save and protect
your chosen ones.
9 Come save us and bless us.
Be our shepherd and always
carry us in your arms.

1 Omwene, ohandi ku ifana,
Oove emanya lange: ino amuka nge,
u kale wa mwena,
opo ndiha fe ava hava i mombila,
ngeenge to kala wa mwena filu.
2 Uda ondaka yomailikano ange;
ngeenge handi ku ifana u kwafe nge,
eshi handi yelula omake ange
mondingandinga youyapuki woye.
3 Ino faulila nge po pamwe novalunde
nomumwe novakolokoshi,
ava ve li po tava popifa mukwao nombili,
mboli meni lavo tave mu diladilile owii.
4 Va alulila shi fike poilonga yavo
nopoumbudi woiningwa yavo;
va alulila shi fike pokunyona kwomake avo,
Oove, u va pe ondjabi, ei va longela.
5 Osheshi ihava yavala oilonga yOmwene
noshilongwa shomake aye;
onghee nee ote ke va ngumauna po,
ndele ite va tungulula vali.
6 Omwene na fimanekwe,
osheshi eingido longhuwo yange okwe li uda.
7 Omwene Oye omupameki wange
noshikelelifo shange;
Oye nde lineekela momutima wange
nonda mona ekwafo.
Osho nee sha nyakula omutima wange,
nohandi mu pandula neimbilo lange.
8 Omwene, Oye eenghono doshiwana shaye,
ohotexupifo yomuvaekwa waye.
9 Xupifa oshiwana shoye,
nangeka noupuna oshitukulwafyuululwa shoye;
va lifa noku va humbata fiyo alushe.
