Kutembezelela bhatsho
1 Ndolilila kumuli ndili mu manikano njinji Yahwe.
2 She ihwani hwi langu!
Muzhule zebe dzenyu
kuteedza hwi le mitembezelo yangu!
3 Ha mabe mubiganyidza milandu, Yahwe,
Yahwe, apa ndiyani wabe angapudzumuka kene?
4 Koga kuna kuzwiibhatigwa mu muli,
kuti ndizo mutjiwe.
5 Ndolindila Yahwe, meya yangu inolinda,
kakale ndogalabgwe mu dama labo,
6 Meya yangu yakalindila Yahwe
kupinda ibabo bakalinda yedza kwe zhuba,
kupinda ibabo bakalinda yedza kwe zhuba
7 Iwe Iziraela, galabgwe muna Yahwe!
Ngobe muna Yahwe kuna ludo gusingazunguzike,
kakale mubali kuna simba gulu linodzutunula.
8 Ndibo banowodzutunula Iziraela
mu matjinyo abo wose.
A Song of degrees.
1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
