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.

1 Omuwa, otandi ku hambelele, sho wa hupitha ndje,

Onda li nda mbolokela muule mwi,

5 Ondjahi ye oyokathimbo kowala,

Ongulohi omahodhi otaga tondoka,

6 Ondi wete ndi li megameno nonda ti:
“Itandi ka sindika nando olumwe.”
7 Omuwa, owa hololele ndje uuwanawa;

9 “Eso lyandje otali ku likolitha shike?
Okuya kwandje mombila otaku ku pe ontanitho?
Aasi otaa vulu tuu oku ku simaneka?
Otaa vulu tuu okuhokolola uudhiginini woye?
10 Uva ndje, Omuwa, ngu u sile ndje ohenda!
Omuwa, kwatha ndje!”
11 Oondjila dhandje owe dhi shitukitha oondjimbo dhenyanyu;

12 Onkee ano itandi mwena;

Omuwa, ongoye Kalunga kandje,
otandi ku pandula sigo aluhe.
