The Security of God's People
1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which can never be shaken, never be moved.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
now and forever.
3 The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous;
if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.
4 Lord, do good to those who are good,
to those who obey your commands.
5 But when you punish the wicked,
punish also those who abandon your ways.
Peace be with Israel!
Ndjambi u tjevera otjiwaṋa tje
1 Imba mbe riyameka ku Muhona
mave sana nondundu Sion, ndji ha teratera
nu ndji hi na maai runduruka.
2 Otja ozondundu punga aza kondoroka Jerusalem,
Muhona opunga e tjevera otjiwaṋa tje,
nambano nga ko nga aruhe.
3 Omunauvi ke nakuhonaparera ko
ehi rovasemba aruhe
kokutja ovasemba ave ha rundapara.
4 Muhona, tjita ouwa ku imba ovawa,
ku imba mbe nonḓuviro komatwako woye!
5 Nungwari imba mbe twara ondjira
yoposyo, Muhona nge ve yandeke
puna imba ovatjite wouvi.
Ohange ngai kare na Israel!
