Okutja okuhepa ku Ndjambi kousemba we
Komuimburise otja ku Mutlaben. Epsalme ra David.
1 Ami me ku tanga, Muhona,
nomutima wandje auhe;
nu me serekarere ovihimise vyoye avihe.
2 Me nyanda nu me yoroka move,
nu me imburire ena roye,
Ndjambi Omunamasaaehe.
3 Ovanavita na ami tji ve ku munu, tji moya;
mave yaruka ombunda, nave u nokukoka.
4 Oove omusemba nomuṱakame
mozombanguriro zoye,
notjiposa tjandje ove we tji pangura osemba.
5 Ove wa pangura ovanavisenginina,
noyandeke ovanauvi;
owo kamaave kazemburukwa rukwao.
6 Ovanavita na eṱe va yandekwa nga aruhe;
Ove wa nyona ovihuro vyawo,
nowo kamaave kazemburukwa oparukaze.
7 Nungwari Muhona eye ombara nga aruhe,
notjihavero tje tjouhona we tji ṱunina ombanguriro.
8 Eye u honaparera ouye nousemba,
nu u pangura omihoko nouatjiri.
9 Muhona eye omaundiro wovatatumisiwa;
eye oruveze rondjamo moruveze rwoumba.
10 Imba mbu mave ku tjiwa,
Muhona, mave riyameka kove,
orondu ove ko isa imba mbe ku paha.
11 Imbureye nu tangeye Muhona,
ngu honapara mOsion!
Zuvariseye oviungura vye
kotjiwaṋa ngamwa atjihe!
12 Ndjambi u zemburuka imba mbe tatumisiwa;
eye ka zembi ko ondjuriro yovasyona;
nu u vera imba mbe ve tatumisa.
13 Ndji tjariparera, Muhona!
Tara kozombamisiro ovendjitonde mu ve ndji twa!
Ndji yama konḓiro, Muhona,
14 kutja mbi serekarerere ovature va Jerusalem
nu mbi ve raere imbi avihe mbi mbi ku tangera.
Ami me yoroka mena rokutja ove we ndji yama.
15 Ovanavisenginina va wira moruhoro ndu va sa oveni;
nowo va kamburwa mombate, ndji va yara oveni.
16 Muhona otje ritjiukisa omuini
mozombanguriro ze ozosemba,
novanauvi va patwa i ozondjito zawo oveni.
17 Otjovakoke otji tji ri onganda yovanauvi,
noyaimba avehe mbe he rizemburuka na Ndjambi.
18 Tjiri, ovasyona kave nokuzembwa ko aruhe;
nomaundjiro wovanandjenda
kaye nokuyandekwa ko nga aruhe.
19 Sekama, Muhona, kutja
omundu e he ku yamburura!
Eta ovanavisenginina komurungu woye
nu u ve pangurire komurungu woye.
20 Ve tjita kutja ve kare nondira, Muhona,
nu ve tjita kutja ve tjiwe kutja owo ovandu uriri.
(A psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “The Death of the Son.”)
Sing Praises to the Lord
1 I will praise you, Lord,
with all my heart
and tell about the wonders
you have worked.
2 God Most High, I will rejoice;
I will celebrate and sing
because of you.
3 When my enemies face you,
they run away and stumble
and are destroyed.
4 You take your seat as judge,
and your fair decisions prove
that I was in the right.
5 You warn the nations
and destroy evil people;
you wipe out their names
forever and ever.
6 Our enemies are destroyed
completely for all time.
Their cities are torn down,
and they will never
be remembered again.
7 You rule forever, Lord,
and you are on your throne,
ready for judgment.
8 You judge the world fairly
and treat all nations
with justice.
9 The poor can run to you
because you are a fortress
in times of trouble.
10 Everyone who honors your name
can trust you,
because you are faithful
to all who depend on you.
11 You rule from Zion, Lord,
and we sing about you
to let the nations know
everything you have done.
12 You did not forget
to punish the guilty
or listen to the cries
of those in need.
13 Please have mercy, Lord!
My enemies mistreat me.
Keep me from the gates
that lead to death,
14 and I will sing about you
at the gate to Zion.
I will be happy there
because you rescued me.
15 Our Lord, the nations fell
into their own pits,
and their feet were caught
in their own traps.
16 You showed what you are like,
and you made certain
that justice is done,
but evil people are trapped
by their own evil deeds.
17 The wicked will go down
to the world of the dead
to be with those nations
that forgot about you.
18 The poor and the homeless
won't always be forgotten
and without hope.
19 Do something, Lord!
Don't let the nations win.
Make them stand trial
in your court of law.
20 Make the nations afraid
and let them all discover
just how weak they are.
