1 Kalunga, sila ndje ohenda,
oshoka onda langelwa;
aatondi yandje otaa tidhagana ndje ethimbo alihe.
2 Okuza ongula sigo okomatango
aakondjithi yandje otaa matukile ndje.
Oyendji mboka taa kondjitha ndje.
3 Uuna nda tila, onde ku inekela,
Omuwa Omunankondoawike.
4 Ondi inekela Kalunga noite tila;
otandi mu simanekele omauvaneko ge.
Omuntu ota ningi ndje shike?
5 Aatondi yandje otaa hindi ndje esiku alihe;
aluhe otaa uvanene okuningila ndje uuwinayi.
6 Otaa gongala e taa langele ndje.
Otaa tala shoka te longo,
opo ya dhipage ndje.
7 Kalunga, ya geelela uukolokoshi wawo;
sinda aantu mboka nondjahi yoye!
8 Owa tseya, nkene ndi na uudhigu;
omahodhi gandje owe ga pungula.
Inaga nyolelwa nani membo lyoye?
9 Esiku tandi ku ithana,
aatondi yandje otaa shuna lwaanima.
Ondi shi shi: Kalunga okwa gama kungame —
10 Omuwa ngoka tandi mu pandulile omauvaneko ge.
11 Onde mu inekela noite tila.
Omuntu ota ningi ndje shike?
12 Kalunga, otandi ku pe shoka nde shi uvaneke;
otandi ku pe omayambo gomapandulo,
13 Oshoka owa hupitha ndje meso
nowa gamene ndje, ndaa sindike.
Nena otandi ende koshipala shaKalunga,
omuuyelele waanamwenyo.
To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee , then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
