Michtam of David.
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Kalunga, gamena ndje;
ngame onde ku inekela.
2 Ngame onda ti kOmuwa:
“Ongoye Omuwa gwandje;
iinima ayihe iiwanawa mbyoka ndi na,
ohandi yi pewa kungoye.”
3 Aantu mboka haa inekele Omuwa,
otaa kala ye li nawa!
Ngame onde ya hokwa unene.
4 Ayehe mboka taa landula iikalunga,
otaa iyetele uudhigu owindji.
Ngame itandi ka gandja omayambo pamwe nayo;
itandi ka galikana iikalunga yawo.
5 Omuwa, ongoye awike eliko lyandje
noho pe ndje ashihe shoka nde shi pumbwa;
omwenyo gwandje ogu li miikaha yoye.
6 Omagano goye oga kumitha ndje ngiini;
onda panda oombalagelo dhoye.
7 Ngame ote hambelele Omuwa,
oshoka oye ha wilike ndje,
nomuusiku eiyuvo lyandje ohali londodha ndje.
8 Aluhe ondu uvite, Omuwa e li ndje popepi;
oku li popepi, nokaku na shoka tashi hindi ndje.
9 Onkee ano ondu uvite uunelago nonda nyanyukwa,
nondu uvite ndi li megamenolela
10 oshoka oto gamene ndje, ndaa tonwe koonkondo dheso,
nomuntu gwoye omuholike ito mu ethele moshaasi.
11 Ongoye to tseyithile ndje ondjila yomwenyo;
pungoye opu na enyanyu lyandje
nuunelago wandje sigo aluhe.
