God the Supreme Ruler
1 God presides in the heavenly council;
in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:
2 “You must stop judging unjustly;
you must no longer be partial to the wicked!
3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;
be fair to the needy and the helpless.
4 Rescue them from the power of evil people.
5 “How ignorant you are! How stupid!
You are completely corrupt,
and justice has disappeared from the world.
6 ‘You are gods,’ I said;
‘all of you are children of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mortals;
your life will end like that of any prince.”
8 Come, O God, and rule the world;
all the nations are yours.

ndele tamu pe ovadinikalunga ounongo? Sela
3 Yukifileni ohepele nofiye,

5 Ndele vo ihava koneke sha, ihava shipulula;

6 Heeno, Ame mwene onda tya:

8 Akutu Kalunga, fikama, u tokole edu;
