Epsalme laDavid; la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo, oku li shika mokaxumbafeta, mondaka yombaafa.
1 Omwene, ino hanyena nge wa handuka,
Ove uha denge nge wa keshuka!
2 Omwene, file nge onghenda, osheshi onda ngona;
pameke nge, osheshi omakipa ange a halukifwa,
3 nomwenyo wange wa tililila,
Woo! Omwene, fiyo onaini hano?
4 Omwene, aluka, u mangulule omwenyo wange!
Xupife nge molwefilonghenda loye!
5 Osheshi mokufya ito dimbulukiwa vali komunhu.
Moshovafi omu na tuu ou, te ku imbile ehambelelo?
6 Onda loloka molwomanyemato ange aeshe;
keshe oufiku ohandi tutike omutala wange,
nomulele wange ohandi u talaleke nomahodi ange.
7 Omesho ange okwa twiyala koluhodi
nokwa kulupifwa molwovayelani vange aveshe.
8 Ovalongi vowii amushe nye,
djeni po pwaame amushe!
Osheshi Omwene okwa uda ekwenauko lange;
9 Omwene okwa uda eindilo lange,
neilikano lange Omwene ohe li tambula.
10 Ovatondi vange aveshe otava ka lengaifwa
ndele tava kanghwa;
otava shunifwa diva lwanima va fya ohoni.

A Prayer in Time of Trouble
1 Don't punish me, Lord,
or even correct me
when you are angry!
2 Have pity on me and heal
my feeble body.
My bones tremble with fear,
3 and I am in deep distress.
How long will it be?
4 Turn and come to my rescue.
Show your wonderful love
and save me, Lord.
5 If I die, I cannot praise you
or even remember you.
6 My groaning has worn me out.
At night my bed and pillow
are soaked with tears.
7 Sorrow has made my eyes dim,
and my sight has failed
because of my enemies.
8 You, Lord, heard my crying,
and those hateful people
had better leave me alone.
9 You have answered my prayer
and my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamed
and terrified,
as they quickly run away
in complete disgrace.
