(For the music leader by David, the Lord's servant.)
Human Sin and God's Goodness
1 Sinners don't respect God;
sin is all they think about.
2 They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
or even to see them.
3 They tell deceitful lies,
and they don't have the sense
to live right.
4 Those people stay awake,
thinking up mischief,
and they follow the wrong road,
refusing to turn from sin.
5 Your love is faithful, Lord,
and even the clouds in the sky
can depend on you.
6 Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains,
deep like the sea,
and all people and animals
are under your care.
7 Your love is a treasure,
and everyone finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8 You give your guests a feast
in your house,
and you serve a tasty drink
that flows like a river.
9 The life-giving fountain
belongs to you,
and your light gives light
to each of us.
10 Our Lord, keep showing love
to everyone who knows you,
and use your power to save all
whose thoughts please you.
11 Don't let those proud
and merciless people
kick me around
or chase me away.
12 Look at those wicked people!
They are knocked down,
never to get up again.
Ouwanghenda waKalunga ounene u fike peni!
Epsalme laDavid, omupiya wOmwene; la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo.
1 Enyono lomulunde tali popi momutima waye,
omesho aye itaa tila Kalunga nande,
2 osheshi olo tali mu shendjeleke momesho aye,

aha mone ehalo loku u mu tondifa.
3 Eendjovo domokanya kaye odo oixuna nouketuketu,

Ove to va itavelele okunwa

10 Diinina ouwanghenda woye

11 Ino efa omhadi yomulinenepeki i lyate nge,
nomake ovakolokoshi a taatae nge.
12 Oko ovaningi vowii va papala,

ndele itava dulu vali okufikama nande.
