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 Prayer for Protection
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer!
2 In despair and far from home
I call to you!
Take me to a safe refuge,
3 for you are my protector,
my strong defense against my enemies.
4 Let me live in your sanctuary all my life;
let me find safety under your wings.
5 You have heard my promises, O God,
and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.
6 Add many years to the king's life;
let him live on and on!
7 May he rule forever in your presence, O God;
protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.
8 So I will always sing praises to you,
as I offer you daily what I have promised.
