Uukolokoshi womuntu
Episalomi lyaDavid, omupiya gwOmuwa
1 Uulunde otau popi momutima gwomukolokoshi;
ota dhini Kalunga ye ite mu simaneke nando.
2 Oshoka ohi iyele ye mwene,
oha dhiladhila kutya Kalunga ita mono oondjo dhe
noite dhi geele.
3 Okupopya kwe okwiinayi noku udha iifundja;
iha longo we sha shoondunge
nenge oshiwanawa.
4 Mokulala kwe oha tungu oompangela dhuudhudhu;
iha longo nando osha shu uka
ye iha tindi okulonga uuwinayi.
Uuwanawa waKalunga
5 Omuwa, esilohenda lyoye otali adha sigo okegulu;
uudhiginini woye otau ifala sigo okeyalelo.
6 Uuyuuki woye otau yeluka wa fa oondundu;
eutho lyoye olya fa uule wefuta.
Aantu niinamwenyo oyi li meke lyoye.
7 Esilohenda lyoye, Kalunga, kali shi kuhepithwa!
Otatu holama momuzile gwomawawa goye.
8 Otatu li iitendele poshililo shomongulu yoye;
oto tu nwetha momulonga guuwanawa woye.
9 Ongoye oluthithiya lwomwenyo,
nomuuyelele woye otu wete uuyelele wo wene.
10 Tsikila okuhola mbo ye ku shi,
ngu u hupithe aayuuki.
11 Ino etha, aainenepeki ya ponokele ndje
nenge aadhudhu ya tidhe ndje.
12 Tala mpo aakolokoshi ya lala.
Oyo mbeya ya gwila po,
itaa vulu okupenduka.
Human Wickedness
1 Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts;
they reject God and do not have reverence for him.
2 Because they think so highly of themselves,
they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn it.
3 Their speech is wicked and full of lies;
they no longer do what is wise and good.
4 They make evil plans as they lie in bed;
nothing they do is good,
and they never reject anything evil.
The Goodness of God
5 Lord, your constant love reaches the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is towering like the mountains;
your justice is like the depths of the sea.
People and animals are in your care.
7 How precious, O God, is your constant love!
We find protection under the shadow of your wings.
8 We feast on the abundant food you provide;
you let us drink from the river of your goodness.
9 You are the source of all life,
and because of your light we see the light.
10 Continue to love those who know you
and to do good to those who are righteous.
11 Do not let proud people attack me
or the wicked make me run away.
12 See where evil people have fallen.
There they lie, unable to rise.
