A Psalm of David.
1 LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Ongumbiro yongurova
Epsalme ra David.
1 Ami me ku kove, Muhona;
hakahana okundjivatera!
Arikana, ndji zuvira, tji me ku kove.
2 Yakura ongumbiro yandje otja

nomayerero womake wandje otja
ombunguhiro yongurova.
3 Muhona, twa po ondjeverero

tjevera omambo aehe ngu me hungire.
4 Ndji tjaera komeripura wokuvanga
okutjita ouvi nokutja e ha kara
nehore novanauvi,
nokutja e ha ri ovikurya vyawo ovitjate.
5 Omundu omusemba ma sora
okundjitona nokundjivyura morusuvero,
nungwari ami himee yakura ondjiririsa yovanauvi,
orondu aruhe mbi kumba kutja
ouvi wawo au ha toṋa.
6 Ovanane vawo tji mave undurirwa

7 Otja ehi romakunino punga ari ura
novitumbehi omutaure tja zu nokutaura ro,
omaṱupa wawo opunga amaye

8 Nungwari ami me kara pokuriyameka kove,
Muhona, Ndjambi wandje.
Me paha omaundiro move;
o ndji esa kutja mbi koke!
9 Ndji tjevera kozombate nḓu ve
ndji twira po na kozongwehe
zaimba mbe tjita ouvi.
10 Ovanauvi ve esa ve wire
mozombate zawo oveni,
ami ngunda ame kapita nokuhinooma.
