A Song of degrees.
1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Ongumbiro yombatero
1 Mourekoto womerihahiziro
me ku kove, Muhona.
2 Muhona, zuva keraka randje;
puratena komeriyarikaṋeno wandje!
3 Tji wa ṱiza omauvi wetu aruhe, Muhona,
owaṋi ngu ma sora okupenga omberero yoye?
4 Nungwari pove pe nondjesiro,
kutja tu ku karere nondira.
5 Ami mbi undja ombatero ya Muhona nonḓero,
mbi riyameka ku ye, nu mbi undja kutja embo
re ri yenenisiwe.
6 Mbi undja ku Muhona okukapita
ovatjevere tji ve undja omatjiro,
okukapita ovatjevere tji ve undja omatjiro.
7 Israel, undja ku Muhona,
orondu pu Muhona tjinga ape
norusuvero oruṱakame,
neye tjinga e nombango okutukutura.
8 Eye porwe ongu ma kutura Israel
komauvi watjo aehe.
