Ntembezelo we mbakililo
1 Bhulutanani mahwi angu Yahwe,
muhweni tjililo tjangu.
2 Hwililani tjililo tjangu, mambo wangu,
kakale muli Ndzimu wangu,
ngobe ndolingisa mitembezelo yangu kumuli.
3 Yahwe, mangwanana mohwa hwi langu,
mu mangwanana ndoyisa mitembezelo
yangu ku muli, ngono ndibe ndilindila.
4 Amute muli Ndzimu unoda mbipo;
bubi agungagale namwi.
5 Banozwikudza habangame pa mesho enyu.
Mobenga babi bose.
6 Molobesa ibabo banonyepa
Yahwe banoshima bathu
banotebula lopa ne banotjebela.
7 Koga imi nge ludo gwenyu bukulu,
ndowongina mu ng'umba yenyu,
ndowonamata ndimuteta
ndakalinga ku ng'umba yenyu,
8 Yahwe, munditungamile mu ndulamo yenyu,
ngekwe zwita zwangu.
Tambunudzani zila yenyu mbeli kwangu.
9 Ngobe akuna lebeswa
linodwa mu milomo yabo,
mimoyo yabo igolomodzo.
Hwulo dzabo zwikumbu zwakaashama,
banotjebela nge ndimi dzabo.
10 Thamani kuti basengane
ne matjinyo abo Ndzimu.
Ngabaligwe nge milangano yabo,
mubatatile kutjena ngekwe matjinyo
abo manji, ngoti bakamupandukila.
11 Koga bose banotizhila ku muli
ngababe ne kushatha,
ngabambe misi yose nge kushatha.
Mutalabudze mbakililo yenyu mubali,
kuti ndizo ibabo banoda
zina lenyu bakudziwe mu muli.
12 Ngoti mokombolela balulwami Yahwe;
mobavikila se tjivikili.
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
