1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Etwikilo lEpsalome la tetekela
1 Kalunga, yukifile nge, u popile nge
kovanhu vehe na onghenda,
Omwene, Ove u xupife nge
kovanhu ve noipupulu noumbudi.
2 Osheshi Kalunga, Oove ou, ho amene nge.
Owa ekelela nge shi shike?
Ohandi endele shike nda nyika oluhodi
mokufininikwa komutondi wange?
3 Tumine nge ouyelele noshili yoye,
oyo i kwatele nge komesho,
yo i twale nge komhunda yoye iyapuki
nokoukalelo woye,

Teelela Kalunga!
Osheshi natango tuu handi ke mu hambelela,
Omuxupifi wange naKalunga kange.
