A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Ouwa waKalunga ohau kalelele
Epsalme laDavid, lokwiimba peyapulo lotembeli.
1 Omwene, nda hala ndi ku fimaneke pombada,
osheshi Ove wa shila nge movayelani vange,
noino va pa omhito, va hafele nge.
2 Omwene, Kalunga kange,
nda li nde ku kwenaukila u kwafe nge,
ndele owa velula nge.
3 Omwene, Oove wa alula omwenyo wange moshovafi,
wa alulila nge komwenyo,
hinga ndi mbonyokele mombila.
4 Imbileni Omwene ehambelelo,
ovakoshoki vaye nye,
panduleni nokudimbulukwa edina laye liyapuki!
5 Osheshi ehandu laye ohali kala po
okafimbo kepakumo limwe,
nonghenda yaye otai kalelele omafiku aeshe;
mokutokelwa ekweno,
nomokusha ehafo li li po.
6 Eshi nda li ndi shii nda pama, opo nee nda tya:
“Itandi punduka nande.”
7 Omwene, molwohokwe yoye
wa pamekela nge omhunda yange;
ndele eshi wa holeka oshipala shoye, onda haluka.
8 Opo nee nde ku lalekida, Omwene,
nonda kuwa kwoove, Kalunga kange, nda tya:
9 “Mohonde yange oto mono mo ouwa washike,
ngeenge nda wile melambo?
Ondwi otai ku pandula mbela,
i udife oudiinini woye?
10 Omwene, ngeno u ude nge,
u file nge onghenda!
Omwene, Ove kala omukwafi wange!”
11 Enyeme lange, owe li shitukifa ehafotanhelo,
Ove owa dula nge oshikutu sheenghali,
ndele to dike nge ekwamo lehafo,
12 opo omwenyo wange u shiive oku ku imbila, itau loloka;
Omwene, Kalunga kange,
fiyo alushe handi ke ku hambelela!
