Epsalme 17:1-15
Eilikano laDavid.
17 Alikana! Jehova, uda eindilo lange, opo ndi yukifilwe oinima;Yandja elitulemo, eshi handi ku lilile ekwafo;Pwilikina keilikano lange lihe na koshi.+
2 Ninga etokolo la yuka ponhele yange;+Omesho oye naa mone osho sha yuka.
3 Owa konakona omutima wange, owa nongonona nge oufiku;+Owa koshola nge;+Oto ka mona kutya inandi pangela omhangela yasha ii,Nokanya kange inaka nyona sha.
4 Shi na sha naasho hashi longwa kovanhu;Metwokumwe nondjovo yomilungu doye, onda henuka eendjila domunyeki.+
5 Eenghatu dange nadi kale momalila oye,Opo eemhadi dange diha ye omufenu.+
6 Akutu! Kalunga, ohandi ku ifana, molwaashi oto nyamukula nge.+
Pakalekela okutwi kwoye* kwaame. Uda eendjovo dange.+
7 Ulika ohole yoye i na oudiinini monghedi ikumwifi,+Akutu! Omuxupifi waavo tava kongo eameno keke loye lokolulyo,Omolwaavo ve ku tukululila oshibofa.
8 Amene nge ngaashi omuni yeisho loye;+Tuvikile nge momudidimbe womavava oye.+
9 Amene nge kovakolokoshi, ovo tava ponokele nge,Kovatondi vange vongaho,* ovo va dingilila nge.+
10 Kave na ouxwenge;*Ohava popi nelinenepeko nomakanya avo;
11 Paife, ove tu kondeka;+Ohava kongo omhito ve tu etele oshiponga.*
12 Ova fa onghoshi ya hala okunyanyaula po oshihakanwa shayo moinhimbu,Ngaashi onghoshi yonyasha ye livata po ya nangela.
13 Alikana! Jehova, fikama, va shakeneka,+ ndele to va findi;Xupife nge* komukolokoshi neongamukonda loye;
14 Alikana! Jehova, xupife nge neke loyeKovanhu vomounyuni ou,* ovo ve na efyuululo mokukalamwenyo oku,+Ovo ho pe oinima ihapu iwa, oyo ho yandje,+Naavo hava fiile ovana vavo vahapu efyuululo.
15 Ashike ame ohandi ka mona oshipala shoye, osheshi ondi li omuyuki;Onda wanenwa, eshi handi penduka moipafi yoye.*+
