To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Eindilo molwehapupalo lowii
Epsalme laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo, mondaka yombaafa.
1 Omwene, kwafa, osheshi ovayuki va xula po,
novadiinini va pwa mo movana vovanhu.
2 Otava popyafana oipupulu namukwao,
nomokupopya omilungu davo
odi nomufenhu,
nomitima davo di li pavali.
3 Omwene, ngeno na tete po omilungu adishe
di nomufenhu
nakeshe tuu elaka tali litangele ounangane,
4 ava hava ti: “Elaka letu olo eenghono detu;
omilungu detu tadi tu popile.
Olyelye omwene wetu?”
5 Omwene Ye ta ti:
“Molwokufininikwa kwomapongo,
nomolwokunyemata kweehepele
nda hala okufikama paife,
exupifo ohandi li etele
ou te li djuulukwa nokuhefahekumuna.”
6 Eendjovo dOmwene odo eendjovo da yela,
da fa oshisiliveli tashi kungulukile poshi
shi yela tashi vilima,
sha yelifwa luheyali.
7 Omwene, Oove to ke va diinina,
oto ke va amena kepupi eli fiyo alushe,
8 nande ovalunde nava shishimane shi fike peni,
molwaashi oulunde
tau hovele okutana mokati kovanhu.
