To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

1 Omwene, fiyo onaini
to kala wa dimbwa nge shili?
Fiyo onaini to holeke nge oshipala shoye?
2 Fiyo onaini ndi nokuhumbata oisho
momwenyo wange,
noluhodi momutima wange efiku nefiku?
Fiyo onaini omuyelani wange
ta ka shishimana e dule nge?
3 Omwene, Kalunga kange, tale nge, ude nge!
Pashukifa omesho ange,
ndiha ka nangale meemhofi defyo!
4 Omushindani wange aha shiive okutya:
“Ame onde mu finda”,
novatondi vange vaha kalukile nge,
ngeenge handi pundauka.
5 Ndelenee ame handi lineekele efilonghenda loye:
omutima wange nau ka nyakukilwe ekwafo loye.
6 Ame ohandi imbile Omwene,
osheshi Ye a ningila nge ouwa.
