(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.
Okupula ekwatho molwaatondi
(Eps. 57:7-11Eps. 60:5-12)Episalomi lyaDavid; Eimbilo
1 Kalunga, ondi na einekelo lya kola,

Mwenyo gwandje, penduka!
2 Okaharpa nokashandja kandje, imba!
Onda hala okupendutha etango.
3 Omuwa, otandi ku pandula mokati kiigwana.
Otandi ku simanake mokati kaakuuyuni.
4 Ohole yoye yaa na ndjele,

5 Kalunga, holola uunene woye kegulu

6 Tu hupitha noonkondo dhoye;

7 Kalunga okwa popi e li muuyapuki we:
“Mesindano otandi tende Shekem,
nolusilu lwaSukkot otandi lu topolele aantu yandje.
8 Gilead oshandje, naManasse osho tuu;
Efraim oye egala lyandje lyosheela,
naJuda oye ondhimbo yandje yuukwaniilwa.
9 Ihe otandi ka ninga Moab oshiyaha shandje shokwiiyogela
notandi ka umbila Edom oongaku dhandje, kokutya:
Ongame mwene gwasho.
Otandi ka nyanyukwa,
sho nda sindi Aafilisti.”
10 Kalunga, olye ta fala ndje moshilando sha kola?
Olye ta thindikile ndje kuEdom?
11 Owe tu ekelehi nani?

Ekwatho lyomuntu kali na oshilonga.
13 Pamwe naKalunga otatu ka sindana;
Kalunga ota ka sinda aatondi yetu.
