A Song of degrees.
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Okupula ekwatho
1 Sho ndi li muudhigu,
otandi galikana Omuwa,
oye notu uvu ndje.
2 Gamena ndje, ndaa kale mongundu yaakotokeli noyaafundja.
3 Aakotokeli ne, Kalunga ote mu ningi ngiini?
Ote mu geele ngiini?
4 Ote mu tumine ondjumbeta
yi na iikuti ya tsa
nomakala ga hanya omulilo.
5 Osho iihuna okukala mokati keni,
osha faathana nokukala muMeshek
nenge okukala maantu yaKedar.
6 Onda kala olule mokati kaantu
haa tondo ombili.
7 Uuna tandi popi ombili,
oya hala iita.
