Okwiindila egameno
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Kalunga, pulakena okulila kwandje;
uva egalikano lyandje.
2 Mokwaanetegameno nomokukala kokule noyaandjetu
otandi ku ithana!
Londeka ndje puule,
3 oshoka ongoye omugameni gwandje,
epopilongulu lyandje lya kola kaatondi yandje!
4 Kaleka ndje muuyapuki woye sigo aluhe;
tula ndje megameno kohi yomawawa goye.
5 Kalunga, owu uvu omauvaneko gandje,
nowa pe ndje oshipewa shaamboka haye ku simaneke.
6 Komasiku gomukwaniilwa gwedhela ko oomvula odhindji;
lelepeka okukalamwenyo kwe!
7 Na pangele aluhe koshipala shoye, Kalunga;
mu gamena nesilohenda nuudhiginini woye.
8 Onkee ano otandi ke ku imbila aluhe omahambelelo,
sho tii ku pe esiku kehe shoka nde shi uvaneke.
(A psalm by David for the music leader. Use with stringed instruments.)
Under the Protection of God
1 Please listen, God,
and answer my prayer!
2 I feel hopeless,
and I cry out to you
from a faraway land.
Lead me to the mighty rock
high above me.
3 You are a strong tower,
where I am safe
from my enemies.
4 Let me live with you forever
and find protection
under your wings, my God.
5 You heard my promises,
and you have blessed me,
just as you bless everyone
who worships you.
6 Let the king have a long
and healthy life.
7 May he always rule
with you, God, at his side;
may your love and loyalty
watch over him.
8 I will sing your praises
forever, God, and will always
keep my promises.
