A Song of degrees.
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Onghuwo yovadinwa
Eimbilo lomolweendo lokuya kouyapuki.
1 Omesho ange ohandi a yelulile kwoove,
ou omukalimutumba meulu.
2 Heeno shili, ngaashi omesho ovapiya
haa tale eke lomwene wavo,
nongaashi omupiya okakadona
taka talifa omesho ako eke lomwene wako,
osho yo omesho etu
ohaa dakamene Kalunga, Omwene wetu,
fiyo ota hovele oku tu fila onghenda.
3 Tu fila onghenda, Omwene, tu fila onghenda,
osheshi fye otwa nyonyodolwa shili kokudinika.
4 Eemwenyo detu oda kenyanana,
da kenyenekwa komasheko ovafulalali
nokodino yaava ve lishii oukengeli.
