(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 Our Lord, your mighty power
makes the king glad,
and he celebrates victories
that you have given him.
2 You did what he wanted most
and never told him “No.”
3 You truly blessed the king,
and you placed on him
a crown of finest gold.
4 He asked to live a long time,
and you promised him life
that never ends.
5 The king is highly honored.
You have let him win victories
that have made him famous.
6 You have given him blessings
that will last forever,
and you have made him glad
by being so near to him.
7 Lord Most High,
the king trusts you,
and your kindness
keeps him from defeat.
8 With your mighty arm, Lord,
you will strike down all
of your hateful enemies.
9 They will be destroyed by fire
once you are here,
and because of your anger,
flames will swallow them.
10 You will wipe their families
from the earth,
and they will disappear.
11 All their plans to harm you
will come to nothing.
12 You will make them run away
by shooting your arrows
at their faces.
13 Show your strength, Lord,
so that we may sing
and praise your power.
Räṛu ta Ŋgaopeṛe rota
1 'Bädri'ba orivoya yai'dwesi, tana nyozo mbara te ndäri Äye OPI,
nda ka riyä oye amba tana ta ŋgaopa miro rota.
2 Nyozo ŋgase ya ndaro kolebe te;
ago miga taeji ndaro tadrina kotezo.
3 Mi OPI nyutudri ndaro äṛu amba kado para be
ago miso tagyia logo läguläguro rote nda dri.
4 Nda ejitate ori ta, ago nyozo te ndäri,
ori madaro ago äduako.
5 'Desi ndaro orivoya para tana ta ŋgaopa miro rota;
nyozo liku ndi 'desi be te ndäri.
6 Äṛu miro orivoya 'bädri'ba be äduako,
ago a'do ti miro 'ba nda te twi riyä be.
7 'Bädri'ba ka taoyi OPI ya;
ago ŋgalu 'duro Lu Fopara ndra rosi
nda orina 'da tokpe.
8 'Bädri'ba uruna kyila'baazii cini ndaro 'da;
nda uruna 'dise cini yana kabe oso nda lomvo 'da.
9 Nda tufuna ànya 'da oso asi kabe ugu leko lewulewu 'do ronye
ondro nda kefote owo.
OPI lesina ànya 'da kyila ndaro si,
ago asi ujena ànya 'da.
10 'Bädri'ba tufuna zelevoi ànyaro 'da ni 'bädri yasi;
ago tufuna ŋgwai ànyaro 'da ni lidri lakosi.
11 Ànya korayi tavo undiro ca nda lomvo, ago käyiyi ta ca nda lomvo,
ànya unina ko oyene kado.
12 Tana nda o'bana anya 'da umune
ondro nda ku'ba ätui ndaro te ànya dri owo.
13 Märäṛu mi, OPI, ta mbara para miro rota!
Màŋgona loŋgo 'da ago mä̀räṛuna mbara miro 'da.
