(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for Victory
1 I pray that the Lord
will listen when you
are in trouble,
and that the God of Jacob
will keep you safe.
2 May the Lord send help
from his temple
and come to your rescue
from Mount Zion.
3 May he remember your gifts
and be pleased
with what you bring.
4 May God do what you want most
and let all go well for you.
5 Then you will win victories,
and we will celebrate,
while raising our banners
in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer
all your prayers!
6 I am certain, Lord,
that you will help
your chosen king.
You will answer my prayers
from your holy place
in heaven,
and you will save me
with your mighty arm.
7 Some people trust the power
of chariots or horses,
but we trust you, Lord God.
8 Others will stumble and fall,
but we will be strong
and stand firm.
9 Give the king victory, Lord,
and answer our prayers.

Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Omuwa ne ku yamukule, uuna u li muudhigu!
Kalunga kaJakob ne ku gamene!
2 Ekwatho lye nali ku ziilile motempeli ye.
Eambidhidho lye nali ku ziilile kondundu Sion.
3 Na taambe omagano ngoka to mu etele
ye na hokwe omayambo goye agehe.
4 Ne ku pe shoka wa hala
ye na tsakanithe oompangela dhoye adhihe.
5 Nena otatu ka kolwa kenyanyu omolwesindano lyoye,
nokupandeka ekandanga mokusimaneka Kalunga ketu.
Omuwa na yamukule omaindilo goye.
6 Ngashingeyi ondi shi shi kutya
Omuwa oha gandja esindano komukwaniilwa gwe omuhogololwa;
ote mu yamukula e li megulu lye eyapuki
nokoonkondo dhOmuwa, omukwaniilwa ota sindana.
7 Aantu yamwe otaa inekele omatemba gawo guukwiita,

8 Aantu ya tya ngeyi otaa punduka etaa gwile po,

9 Omuwa, gandja esindano komukwaniilwa;
tu yamukula, ngele tatu ku indile.
