12 Mboka ya popi ya ti:
“Otatu ka kwata po omayana gaKalunga.”
13 Kalunga, ya ninga ngaashi ontsi tayi pepwa po kombepo,

14 Ngaashi epeya tali fike po omugulu,

ya halutha noshihomo shoye.
16 Omuwa, ya sitha ohoni;

17 Naa sindike e taa tila sigo aluhe;

18 Naye ku tseye kutya ongoye awike Omuwa Omupangeliawike
kombanda yevi alihe.
(A song and a psalm by Asaph.)
God Rules All the Earth
1 Our God, don't just sit there,
silently doing nothing!
2 Your hateful enemies
are turning against you
and rebelling.
3 They are sly, and they plot
against those you treasure.
4 They say, “Let's wipe out
the nation of Israel
and make sure that no one
remembers its name!”
5 All of them fully agree
in their plans against you,
and among them are
6 Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia and Phoenicia.
8 Even Assyria has joined forces
with Moab and Ammon.
9 Our Lord, punish all of them
as you punished Midian.
Destroy them, as you destroyed
Sisera and Jabin
at Kishon Creek 10 near Endor,
and let their bodies rot.
11 Treat their leaders as you did
Oreb and Zeeb,
Zebah and Zalmunna.
12 All of them said, “We'll take
God's valuable land!”
13 Our God, scatter them around
like dust in a whirlwind.
14 Just as flames destroy forests
on the mountains,
15 pursue and terrify them
with storms of your own.
16 Make them blush with shame,
until they turn and worship
you, our Lord.
17 Let them be forever ashamed
and confused.
Let them die in disgrace.
18 Make them realize that you
are the Lord Most High,
the only ruler of earth!
