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.
Eindilo okwaamenwa kowii
Epsalome laDavid.
1 Omwene, ohandi kuu onghuwo kwoove, i tondoka!
Uda ondaka yange, eshi handi ku ifana.
2 Eindilo lange nali talwe kwoove,
olo etwimino, neyelulo lomaoko ange,
olo eyambo longuloshi.
3 Omwene, kokanya kange paka ko omukeleli,
nomunangeli koshivelo shomilungu dange!
4 Anda ko omutima wange, uha ame kowii,
ame ndiha longe oilonga youmbudi
pamwe naava ve i hole;
inandi hala nokuli okumakela kounyenye wavo.
5 Omuyuki na denge nge, osho ohole,
ye na pukulule nge,
osho omuvaeko womomutwe,
omutwe wange, eshi itau shi anye nande,
osheshi natango eindilo lange tali kondjifa oumbudi wavo.
6 Ovatokoli vomuvo,
ngeenge va undwilwa momakololo omamanya,
opo otaku udika eendjovo dange, nokutya odiwa.
7 Ngaashi umwe ta limi edu ndele te li hende,
osho omakipa etu taa nyanekwa mokanya koshovafi.
8 Osheshi Omwene, Kalunga kange,
kwoove omesho ange oko a yukilila,
kwoove oko handi ka ningina;
omwenyo wange ino u tilashi.
9 Shiye nge komwiyo, ou va tela nge,
nokomalulo ovaninginai.
10 Ovadinikalunga nave likwate nomalulo avo vene,
fimbo ame handi piti po.
