(A psalm and a song by Asaph for the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.” )
Praise God for All He Has Done
1 Our God, we thank you
for being so near to us!
Everyone celebrates
your wonderful deeds.
2 You have set a time
to judge with fairness.
3 The earth trembles,
and its people shake;
you alone keep
its foundations firm.
4 You tell every bragger,
“Stop bragging!”
And to the wicked you say,
“Don't boast of your power!
5 Stop bragging! Quit telling me
how great you are.”
6 Our Lord and our God,
victory doesn't come
from the east or the west
or from the desert.
7 You are the one who judges.
You can take away power
and give it to others.
8 You hold in your hand
a cup filled with wine,
strong and foaming.
You will pour out some
for every sinful person
on this earth,
and they will have to drink
until it is gone.
9 But I will always tell about
you, the God of Jacob,
and I will sing your praise.
10 Our Lord, you will destroy
the power of evil people,
but you will give strength
to those who are good.
Etokolo la yuka laKalunga

1 Ohatu ku tange, Kalunga,

Nokovalundakani: “Inamu tanganeka oluvinga;
5 oluvinga leni inamu li tanganekela ngaho.
Inamu liyeka eefingo okupopya eendjovo delitumbo.”
6 Osheshi enenepeko loovene
itali di koushilo ile kouninginino,

8 Osheshi Omwene oku kwete eholo meke laye,

9 Ndelenee ame ondi nonhele yokunyakukwa alushe,

10 Omaluvinga aeshe ovalundakani,

neembinga dovayuki ohandi di tumbu pombada.
