Okwa tula ndje puukukutu kemanya
nokwa gamene ndje.
3 Okwa longo ndje okwiimba eimbilo epe,

Oyendji mbo taye shi mono,

4 Aanelago oomboka haa inekele Omuwa;

5 Owe tu ningile iinima oyindji,
Omuwa, Kalunga ketu;

6 Ino pumbwa omayambo nomagano;

Ihe owa pe ndje omakutsi goku ku pulakena,

8 Kalunga kandje, ondi hole okugwanitha ehalo lyoye!
Otandi dhiginine elongo lyoye momutima gwandje.”
9 Omuwa, megongalo lyaantu yoye ayehe

Ou shi shi kutya itandi ka mwena oku shi hokolola.
10 Elaka lyehupitho inandi li ingungunina;

Megongalo lyaantu yoye ayehe ine vula okumwena;

11 Omuwa, onda tseya kutya

Ote gamenwa kohole nokuudhiginini woye.
Okupula ekwatho
(Eps. 70)12 Ngame onda kondekwa kuudhigu owindji —
owindji unene okutumbula!
Onda ningina moondjo noite vulu we okumona ko;
odho odhindji unene dhi vule omafufu gandje gokomutse.
Ngashingeyi onda tyololoka.
13 Kalunga, hupitha ndje!
Omuwa kwatha ndje mbala!
14 Mbo ya hala okudhipaga ndje
naa sindililwe e taa piyaganekwa.
Mbo taa nyanyukilwa uudhigu wandje,
naa shunithwe e taa sithwa ohoni.
15 Mbo taa yolo ndje,
naa gugithwe komupya gwawo.
16 Ayehe mboka taa ya kungoye,
naa nyanyukwe e taa ligola.
Ayehe mboka ye hole ehupitho lyoye
Aluhe naa tye: “Omuwa omunene ngiini!”
17 Omuwa, ngame oshimbembe nohepele,
ino dhimbwa ndje.
Ongoye omuhupithi gwandje naKalunga kandje —
endelela, u kwathe ndje!
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for Help
1 I patiently waited, Lord,
for you to hear my prayer.
You listened 2 and pulled me
from a lonely pit
full of mud and mire.
You let me stand on a rock
with my feet firm,
3 and you gave me a new song,
a song of praise to you.
Many will see this,
and they will honor and trust
you, the Lord God.
4 You bless all of those
who trust you, Lord,
and refuse to worship idols
or follow false gods.
5 You, Lord God, have done
many wonderful things,
and you have planned
marvelous things for us.
No one is like you!
I would never be able to tell
all you have done.
6 Sacrifices and offerings
are not what please you;
gifts and payment for sin
are not what you demand.
But you made me willing
to listen and obey.
7 And so, I said, “I am here
to do what is written
about me in the book,
where it says,
8 ‘I enjoy pleasing you.
Your Law is in my heart.’ ”
9 When your people worshiped,
you know I told them,
“Our Lord always helps!”
10 When all your people met,
I did not keep silent.
I said, “Our Lord is kind.
He is faithful and caring,
and he saves us.”
11 You, Lord, never fail
to have pity on me;
your love and faithfulness
always keep me secure.
12 I have more troubles
than I can count.
My sins are all around me,
and I can't find my way.
My sins outnumber
the hairs on my head,
and I feel weak.
13 Please show that you care
and come to my rescue.
Hurry and help me!
14 Disgrace and confuse
all who want me dead;
turn away and disgrace
all who want to hurt me.
15 Embarrass and shame
everyone who says,
“Just look at you now!”
16 Our Lord, let your worshipers
rejoice and be glad.
They love you for saving them,
so let them always say,
“The Lord is wonderful!”
17 I am poor and needy,
but, Lord God,
you care about me,
and you come to my rescue.
Please hurry and help.
