Michtam of David.
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Ongumbiro yomeriyamekero ku Muhona
Epsalme ra David.
1 Ndji yama, Ndjambi; tjinga move
amuna omaundiro wandje.
2 Ami mbi tja nai ku Muhona:
“Oove oMuhona wandje;
move erike omu mu nouṋingandu wandje auhe.”
3 Ovandu va Muhona ovaṱakame,
owo, tjiri, ovaṋingandu!
Mu wo aveyerike ami omu mbi nonyuṋe tjinene.
4 Imba mbe kongorera oomukuru varwe,
ve ripahera oveni omaumba omengi.
Ami hi nokukara pozombunguhiro zawo;
hi nokurikotamena koomukuru vawo.
5 Ove, Muhona, oove ngu u ri
avihe mbi mbi na vyo,
nu u ndji pa avihe, mbi me hepa
oruyaveze rwandje ru ri momake woye.
6 Oviyandjewa vyoye ku ami, tjiri, ovihimise;

7 Ami me tanga Muhona,

9 Opu me tjere okuhepa,

Ove komoo yandjere omuingona

11 Ove mo ndji raisire ondjira
ndji twara komuinyo;
poukarepo woye mbi muna
po enyando enene,
nu u ndji pa onyuṋe nga aruhe.
