Lumbo gwa Dafite embila ntungamili.
Ntembezelo we kusunungugwa mu zwita
1 Kowobe kwe tjibaka tjingapani Yahwe?
Apa mowondikangang'wila tjose kene?
Mowondisumbikila buso
gwenyu kuswikila lini kene?
2 Ndowodzikitadzila zogwadza
kuswikila lini kene?
Apa ndowobe ne buyendasi
mu moyo wangu zhuba lose kene?
Kowobe kwe tjibaka tjingapani
zwita zwangu zwindikulila kene?
3 Mundilinge Yahwe Ndzimu wangu, mundidabile.
Mundisimise kuti ndisiyizele hwope dze lufu.
4 Tjita tjangu tjingadwa tjiti, “Ndankunda,”
zwita zwangu zwingashatha kwazo kuti ndakundiwa.
5 Koga ndogalabgwe mu ludo gwenyu gusingazunguzike;
moyo wangu unowoshatha mu jidzo lenyu.
6 Ndowombila Yahwe,
ngoti bakandithamila kwakalulwama.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
