3 Mu zhuba landakadana, makandidabila,

6 Nenguba Yahwe balipezhugwi,

Musitongolasha nshingo we maboko enyu.

Praise the Lord with All Your Heart
1 With all my heart
I praise you, Lord.
In the presence of angels
I sing your praises.
2 I worship at your holy temple
and praise you for your love
and your faithfulness.
You were true to your word
and made yourself more famous
than ever before.
3 When I asked for your help,
you answered my prayer
and gave me courage.
4 All kings on this earth
have heard your promises, Lord,
and they will praise you.
5 You are so famous
that they will sing about
the things you have done.
6 Though you are above us all,
you care for humble people,
and you keep a close watch
on everyone who is proud.
7 I am surrounded by trouble,
but you protect me
against my angry enemies.
With your own powerful arm
you keep me safe.
8 You, Lord, will always
treat me with kindness.
Your love never fails.
You have made us what we are.
Don't give up on us now!
