Eindilo molwehapupalo lowii
Epsalme laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo, mondaka yombaafa.
1 Omwene, kwafa, osheshi ovayuki va xula po,
novadiinini va pwa mo movana vovanhu.
2 Otava popyafana oipupulu namukwao,
nomokupopya omilungu davo
odi nomufenhu,
nomitima davo di li pavali.
3 Omwene, ngeno na tete po omilungu adishe
di nomufenhu
nakeshe tuu elaka tali litangele ounangane,
4 ava hava ti: “Elaka letu olo eenghono detu;
omilungu detu tadi tu popile.
Olyelye omwene wetu?”
5 Omwene Ye ta ti:
“Molwokufininikwa kwomapongo,
nomolwokunyemata kweehepele
nda hala okufikama paife,
exupifo ohandi li etele
ou te li djuulukwa nokuhefahekumuna.”
6 Eendjovo dOmwene odo eendjovo da yela,
da fa oshisiliveli tashi kungulukile poshi
shi yela tashi vilima,
sha yelifwa luheyali.
7 Omwene, Oove to ke va diinina,
oto ke va amena kepupi eli fiyo alushe,
8 nande ovalunde nava shishimane shi fike peni,
molwaashi oulunde
tau hovele okutana mokati kovanhu.
(A psalm by David for the music leader. )
A Prayer for Help
1 Please help me, Lord!
All who were faithful
and all who were loyal
have disappeared.
2 Everyone tells lies,
and no one is sincere.
3 Won't you chop off
all flattering tongues
that brag so loudly?
4 They say to themselves,
“We are great speakers.
No one else has a chance.”
5 But you, Lord, tell them,
“I will do something!
The poor are mistreated
and helpless people moan.
I'll rescue all who suffer.”
6 Our Lord, you are true
to your promises,
and your word is like silver
heated seven times
in a fiery furnace.
7 You will protect us
and always keep us safe
from those people.
8 But all who are wicked
will keep on strutting,
while everyone praises
their shameless deeds.
