1 Omulinenepeki ove, oshike to litangele oupote woye?
Efilonghenda laKalunga, otali kala po fiyo alushe.
2 Elaka loye otali dutu oixuna,
la fa oshikululifo sha upikwa, mukotokeli ove!
3 Ove u hole owii, u ku dulile ouwa,
noipupulu, i ku dulile oshili. Sela
4 Eendjovo dombudi, odo adike u hole, ove elaka li nekoto!
5 Hano osho yo Kalunga ote ku hanauna po fiyo alushe,
ote ku nakula mo note ku vakula mo moshitulwa shoye,
ndele te ku duda mo moshilongo
shovanamwenyo nomidi doye. Sela
6 Ovayuki, otave shi mono notashi va halula
ndele tave shi mu yolele:
7 “Tala, omulumenhu ou, oye tuu,
ine lineekela Kalunga, a ninge engholo laye,
ndelenee okwe lineekela emona laye linene
nokwe litungila koupuna waye.”
8 Ndele ame ondi li mongulu yaKalunga,
nda fa olumono litalala;
nde lineekela efilonghenda laKalunga fiyo alushe.
9 Alushe onda hala ndi ku tangele, eshi we shi ninga;
nomoipafi yovayuki voye onda hala okuteelela
edina loye, osheshi olo oliwa.
(A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”)
God Is in Control
1 You people may be strong
and brag about your sins,
but God can be trusted
day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,
and your lying words cut
like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil
than good, and tell lies
than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,
and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!
He will grab you and drag you
from your homes.
You will be uprooted
and left to die.
6 When good people see
this fearsome sight,
they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!
Instead of trusting God,
they trusted their wealth
and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God's house,
and I can count on his love
forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God
for what he has done;
I will praise his good name
when his people meet.
