Epsalome lOvakora, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo nokaxumbafeta Gittit.
1 Eumbo loye oliwa shi fike peni,
akutu Omwene weengudu dovakwaita!
2 Omwenyo wange tau djuulukwa,
ndele tau lilile omikala dOmwene;
omutima wange nolutu lange
otali nyakukilwa Kalunga omunamwenyo;
3 osheshi namusheshe okwa mona ko eumbo,
noxwilowi ya mona oshihadi,
omu ya nangeka oudilona vayo,

Omwene weengudu dovakwaita,
ohamba yange naKalunga kange.
4 Ovanelao ovo tava kala meumbo loye,

5 Ovanelao ovava ve neenghono davo mwoove
mokulilongekidila oyeendo iyapuki.
6 Mokweenda molufilu lomahodi

otai li yadifa omanangeko noupuna.
7 Otava ende alushe meenghono dipe,
fiyo tava fiki koshipala shaKalunga muSion.
8 Omwene, Kalunga keengudu dovakwaita,
pwilikina eindilo lange,
li uda, Kalunga kaJakob. Sela
9 Akutu Kalunga, Oove oshikelelifo shetu,
tala u tale oshipala shomuvaekwa woye.
10 Osheshi efiku limwe alike momikala doye
li dule omafiku eyovi pamwe pe lili.
Okukala konhu yeumbo laKalunga kange
oku dulile nge okukala meenduda dovalunde.
11 Osheshi Kalunga Omwene,
Oye etango noshikelelifo;
Omwene oha yandje ouwanghenda nefimano;
ava tava ende moshili,
ite va kelele nande osha shiwa.
12 Omunelao omunhu ou te ku lineekele,
Oove Omwene weengudu dovakwaita!

The Joy of Worship
1 Lord God All-Powerful,
your temple is so lovely!
2 Deep in my heart I long
for your temple,
and with all that I am
I sing joyful songs to you.
3 Lord God All-Powerful,
my King and my God,
sparrows find a home
near your altars;
swallows build nests there
to raise their young.
4 You bless everyone
who lives in your house,
and they sing your praises.
5 You bless all who depend
on you for their strength
and all who deeply desire
to visit your temple.
6 When they reach Dry Valley,
springs start flowing,
and the autumn rain fills it
with pools of water.
7 Your people grow stronger,
and you, the God of gods,
will be seen in Zion.
8 Lord God All-Powerful,
the God of Jacob,
please answer my prayer!
9 You are the shield
that protects your people,
and I am your chosen one.
Won't you smile on me?
10 One day in your temple
is better than a thousand
anywhere else.
I would rather serve
in your house,
than live in the homes
of the wicked.
11 Our Lord and our God,
you are like the sun
and also like a shield.
You treat us with kindness
and with honor,
never denying any good thing
to those who live right.
12 Lord God All-Powerful,
you bless everyone
who trusts you.
