Exupifo oli li mOmwene
Epsalme laDavid, eshi a ya onhapo omona waye Absalom.
1 Omwene, ongahelipi ovatondi vange va hapupala!
Vahapu va fikamena nge!
2 Vahapu otava popi nge tava ti:
“Ke na ekwafo puKalunga!” Sela
3 Ndelenee Omwene, Oove oshikelelifo shange
netumbalo lange,
Ove noto yelula omutwe wange.
4 Onda lalekida Omwene mokule,
Ye nokwa uda eingido lange
komhunda yaye iyapuki. Sela
5 Onda li nda nangala, nda kofa nawa,
opo nee nda penduka;
osheshi Kalunga oha amene nge.
6 Ame ihandi tila ovanhu omayovi omulongo
tava dingilile nge keembinga adishe.
7 Omwene, yambuka, xupife nge Kalunga kange!
Osheshi Ove wa teyaula oluhamama lovatondi vange;
nomayoo ovalunde we a tataula.
8 Exupifo oli li mOmwene.
Enangeko noupuna loye
nali kale kombada yoshiwana shoye. Sela
Morning Prayer for Help
1 I have so many enemies, Lord,
so many who turn against me!
2 They talk about me and say,
“God will not help him.”
3 But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;
you give me victory
and restore my courage.
4 I call to the Lord for help,
and from his sacred hill he answers me.
5 I lie down and sleep,
and all night long the Lord protects me.
6 I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies
who surround me on every side.
7 Come, Lord! Save me, my God!
You punish all my enemies
and leave them powerless to harm me.
8 Victory comes from the Lord—
may he bless his people.
