(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.
Okwiindililwa kwohamba
Eimbilo laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo oku li shika mokaxumbafeta.
1 Kalunga, uda okwiingida kwange,
Ove didilika eilikano lange!
2 Moulikule wange kexulilo ledu ohandi ku ifana,
omutima wange eshi owa lololwa;
twale nge kemanya lile,
ame mwene nda nyengwa okulonda ko.
3 Osheshi Ove wa kala nale ehondamo lange,
nohote yange ya pama koshipala shomutondi wange.
4 Itavele nge ndi kale alushe metwali loye,
ndi hondame meameno lomavava oye. Sela
5 Osheshi, Kalunga, Ove wa uda omaudaneko ange,
wa pa nge efyuululo laava tava tila edina loye.
6 Wedela ko ohamba omafiku komafiku,
nomido dayo di ninge dihapu okepupi fiyo okepupi.
7 Epangelo layo li kale alushe koshipala shaKalunga;
i pa ouwanghenda noudiinini,
u ninge eameno layo.
8 Osho nda hala okwiimbila edina loye
omahambelelo alushe fiyo alushe,
ndi wanife omaudaneko ange efiku nefiku.
