(A psalm by Asaph.)
Please Do Something, God!
1 When all the other gods
have come together,
the Lord God judges them
and says:
2 “How long will you
keep judging unfairly
and favoring evil people?
3 Be fair to the poor
and to orphans.
Defend the helpless
and everyone in need.
4 Rescue the weak and homeless
from the powerful hands
of heartless people.
5 “None of you know
or understand a thing.
You live in darkness,
while the foundations
of the earth tremble.
6 “I, the Most High God, say
that all of you are gods
and also my own children.
7 But you will die,
just like everyone else,
including powerful rulers.”
8 Do something, God!
Judge the nations of the earth;
they belong to you.
Kalunga ta tokola ovatokoli vehe fi ovayuki
Epsalome laAsaf.
1 Kalunga oku li ofika moshiongalele shookalunga,

2 “Fiyo onaini mwa hala okutokola etokolo inali yuka,
ndele tamu pe ovadinikalunga ounongo? Sela
3 Yukifileni ohepele nofiye,
epongo nomufyoona navo nava popilwe nawa.
4 Xupifeni omuxupi nomukwanaluhepo,
va vakuleni momaoko ovadinikalunga.
5 Ndele vo ihava koneke sha, ihava shipulula;
hava endaenda momilaulu,
omakanghameno aeshe edu taa tengauka.
6 Heeno, Ame mwene onda tya:
onye amushe ookalunga
novana vaau wOkombadambada;
7 nande pe li ngaha, otamu fi,
ngaashi ovanhu hava fi,
ndele tamu lidenge po ominguda
ngaashi oidale aishe.”
8 Akutu Kalunga, fikama, u tokole edu;
osheshi oiwana aishe oyoye.
