Egalikano lyokupula ekwatho
Episalomi lyaDavid konima yepandela lyaSaul lya zi mekololo
1 Kalunga, sila ndje ohenda,
sila ndje ohenda, oshoka okungoye tandi kongo egameno.
Otandi holama momuzile gwomawawa goye,
sigo iikungulu iidhigu tayi kodha.
2 Otandi ithana Kalunga gwokombandambanda,
Kalunga ngo ha gwanithile ndje oompumbwe adhihe.
3 Oye ta yamukula ndje e li megulu
e ta hupitha ndje;
ota sindi aathiminiki yandje.
Kalunga ota hololele ndje esilohenda lye
nuudhiginini we.
4 Onda kondekwa kaatondi,
mbo ya fa oonime dha fukila onyama yomuntu.
Omayego gawo oga fa oomwele niikuti;
omalaka gawo oga fa omagonga ga tsa.
5 Kalunga, holola uunene woye kegulu
nesimano lyoye kombanda yevi alihe.
6 Aatondi yandje oyu umbu oshiyulitho shokuyula ndje;
onda tonwa kuudhigu.
Oyo ya fulile ndje ekelo mondjila,
ihe oya gwile mo yo yene.
7 Kalunga, ngame ondi na einekelo lya kola;
otandi imbi e tandi ku simaneke!
8 Mwenyo gwandje, penduka!
Okaharpa nokashandja kandje, imba!
Onda hala okupendutha etango.
9 Omuwa, otandi ku pandula mokati kiigwana.
Otandi ku simaneke mokati kaakuuyuni.
10 Ohole yoye yaa na ndjele, oya tsa kegulu;
uudhiginini woye otau thiki keyalelo.
11 Kalunga, holola uunene woye kegulu
nesimano lyoye kombanda yevi alihe.

Praise and Trust in Times of Trouble
1 God Most High, have pity on me!
Have mercy. I run to you
for safety.
In the shadow of your wings,
I seek protection
till danger dies down.
2 I pray to you, my protector.
3 You will send help from heaven
and save me,
but you will bring trouble
on my attackers.
You are faithful,
and you can be trusted.
4 My enemies are fierce,
much worse than lions!
They have spears and arrows
instead of teeth,
and they have sharp swords
instead of tongues.
5 May you, my God, be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
6 Enemies set traps for my feet
and struck me down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but fell in it themselves.
7 I am faithful to you,
and you can trust me.
I will sing and play music
for you, my God.
8 I feel wide awake!
I will wake up my harp
and wake up the sun.
9 I will praise you, Lord,
for everyone to hear,
and I will sing hymns to you
in every nation.
10 Your love reaches higher
than the heavens;
your loyalty extends
beyond the clouds.
11 May you, my God, be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
