Ehambeleloimbilo lokufimaneka Kalunga
Epsalome, eimbilo mefiku leshabata.
1 Osha wapala unene okupandula Omwene,
nokwiimbila edina loye ehambelelo,
Ove ou wOkombadambada;
2 okuhepaulula ouwanghenda woye ongula inene,
nokutonga oudiinini woye oufiku;
3 mokushika okauta nonyalilo,
nokushika okaxumbafeta.
4 Osheshi Omwene, Ove wa hafifa nge mokulonga kwoye;
ohandi nyakukilwa oilonga yomake oye.
5 Omwene, oilonga yoye oinene, i fike peni!
Omadiladilo oye omale unene neenghono.
6 Omunhu ehe neendunge ite shi shiiva,

7 Ovadinikalunga eshi tava twiyuka ngaashi omwiidi,
novaningi vowii aveshe ngeenge tava hape ngaashi omiti,
otashi ningwa, vo va yaumuke ko fiyo alushe.
8 Ndelenee Omwene, Oove omunene
omutumbalekwa fiyo alushe!
9 Heeno, oshili, ovatondi voye, Omwene,
ovakondjifi voye shili otava nyonauka po;
ovaningi vowii aveshe otava halakanifwa.
10 Ndelenee oluvinga lange
oto li tumbifa pombada ngaashi olomhanda,
owa vaeka nge nomaadi mapelela;
11 Omesho ange okwa mona okufindika kwovatondi vange,
nomatwi ange e udite ehafo
molwoshiponga shovanawii ava tava fikamene nge.
12 Omukoshoki ota kulifwa,
a fa omuti womulunga, ota mene ta i pokule,
ngaashi omuti womusederi wokuLibanon.
13 Ova twikwa meumbo lOmwene,
otava tutuma momukunghulo
wondjuwo yaKalunga ketu,
14 vo nande nava kulupe, otava imike natango oiimati,
omiti ditalala da twiyauka omafo,
15 vo va kale tava udifa,
nokutya Kalunga Oye omuyuki,
emanya lange, muye kamu na nande oushima.
(A psalm and a song for the Sabbath.)
Sing Praises to the Lord
1 It is wonderful to be grateful
and to sing your praises,
Lord Most High!
2 It is wonderful each morning
to tell about your love
and at night to announce
how faithful you are.
3 I enjoy praising your name
to the music of harps,
4 because everything you do
makes me happy,
and I sing joyful songs.
5 You do great things, Lord.
Your thoughts are too deep
6 for an ignorant fool
to know or understand.
7 Though the wicked sprout
and spread like grass,
they will be pulled up
by their roots.
8 But you will rule
over all of us forever,
9 and your hateful enemies
will be scattered
and then destroyed.
10 You have given me
the strength of a wild ox,
and you have chosen me
to be your very own.
11 My eyes have seen,
and my ears have heard
the doom and destruction
of my evil enemies.
12 Good people will prosper
like palm trees,
and they will grow strong
like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 They will take root
in your house, Lord God,
and they will do well.
14 They will be like trees
that stay healthy and fruitful,
even when they are old.
15 And they will say about you,
“The Lord always does right!
God is our mighty rock.”
