1 Kalunga, amene nge, osheshi kwoove

2 Onda tya kuKalunga: “Oove Omwene wange,
nghi na nande ouwa umwe, uhe fi Ove.”
3 Nokovayapuki vomoshilongo ohandi ti:
“Ovo tuu ovayapuki,
ohokwe yange aishe omuvo i li.”
4 Ava ve likongela kalunga e lili,
ove nomayehamo mahapu.
Oikunwayambo yavo yohonde

5 Omwene Oye oshitukulwa shefyuululo lange

6 Oshihoololifo sha hoololelwa nge

7 Ohandi pandula, Omwene,

8 Alushe ohandi kwatele Omwene

eshi Ye e li kolulyo lange, ihandi tengauka.
9 Onghee tuu omutima wange u nehafo,
nomwenyo wange tau nyakukwa,
nolutu lange tali tulumukwa mombili.
10 Osheshi omwenyo wange
Ove ito u efele moshovafi
nomuyapuki woye ito mu efa a mone eolelo.
11 Ove to shiivifile nge ondjila yomwenyo;
ouyadihafo ou li koshipala shoye,
ouwapalinyenye ou li meke lokolulyo loye fiyo alushe.
(A special psalm by David.)
The Best Choice
1 Protect me, Lord God!
I run to you for safety,
2 and I have said,
“Only you are my Lord!
Every good thing I have
is a gift from you.”
3 Your people are wonderful,
and they make me happy,
4 but worshipers of other gods
will have much sorrow.
I refuse to offer sacrifices
of blood to those gods
or worship in their name.
5 You, Lord, are all I want!
You are my choice,
and you keep me safe.
6 You make my life pleasant,
and my future is bright.
7 I praise you, Lord,
for being my guide.
Even in the darkest night,
your teachings fill my mind.
8 I will always look to you,
as you stand beside me
and protect me from fear.
9 With all my heart,
I will celebrate,
and I can safely rest.
10 I am your chosen one.
You won't leave me in the grave
or let my body decay.
11 You have shown me
the path to life,
and you make me glad
by being near to me.
Sitting at your right side,
I will always be joyful.
