Komuimburise. Epsalme ra David.
1 Muhona nge ku zuvire meyuva rombamisiro!
Ndjambi wa Jakob nge ku yame!
2 Eye nge ku hindire ombatero
okuza mondjuwo ye,
nge ku yame okuza kondundu ya Sion.
3 Eye nga yakure ozombunguhiro
zoye azehe zovikurya,
nu nga kare nonyuṋe mozombunguhiro
zoye ozoningiririsiwa.
4 Eye nge ku pe imbi mbi mo zeri nomutima woye,
nga ṋingaparise ouripura woye auhe.
5 Otji matu yorokere outoṋi woye,
nu matu turike erapi routoṋi
mena ra Ndjambi wetu.
Muhona nga yenenise
omaningiriro woye aehe.
6 Nambano ami mba tjiwa kutja Muhona ma
yandja ondoṋeno kombara ye ondoororwa;
eye me i zuvire motjouyapuke tje meyuru,
nu momasa we eye me i pe outoṋi ounene.
7 Tjiva ve riyameka komatemba wovita,
nu tjiva ave riyameke koukambe wawo;
nungwari eṱe tu riyameka kena
ra Muhona, Ndjambi wetu.
8 Ovandu otja imba mave putara nave u,
nungwari eṱe matu kara kamuseka natu zikama.
9 Muhona, yandja outoṋi kombara!
Nu tu zuvira tji matu ku kove.

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.
