(A psalm by David for the music leader. Use with stringed instruments.)
Under the Protection of God
1 Please listen, God,
and answer my prayer!
2 I feel hopeless,
and I cry out to you
from a faraway land.
Lead me to the mighty rock
high above me.
3 You are a strong tower,
where I am safe
from my enemies.
4 Let me live with you forever
and find protection
under your wings, my God.
5 You heard my promises,
and you have blessed me,
just as you bless everyone
who worships you.
6 Let the king have a long
and healthy life.
7 May he always rule
with you, God, at his side;
may your love and loyalty
watch over him.
8 I will sing your praises
forever, God, and will always
keep my promises.

Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Kalunga, pulakena okulila kwandje;
uva egalikano lyandje.
2 Mokwaanetegameno nomokukala kokule noyaandjetu
otandi ku ithana!
Londeka ndje puule,
3 oshoka ongoye omugameni gwandje,
epopilongulu lyandje lya kola kaatondi yandje!
4 Kaleka ndje muuyapuki woye sigo aluhe;
tula ndje megameno kohi yomawawa goye.
5 Kalunga, owu uvu omauvaneko gandje,
nowa pe ndje oshipewa shaamboka haye ku simaneke.
6 Komasiku gomukwaniilwa gwedhela ko oomvula odhindji;
lelepeka okukalamwenyo kwe!
7 Na pangele aluhe koshipala shoye, Kalunga;
mu gamena nesilohenda nuudhiginini woye.
8 Onkee ano otandi ke ku imbila aluhe omahambelelo,
sho tii ku pe esiku kehe shoka nde shi uvaneke.
