Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na kokanisa misala ya Nzambe. Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kangola ngai! Yawe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai!

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe bayokisama soni!

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

Tika ete bato oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bazonga mpo na soni!

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

Tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Nzambe azali monene! »

5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

Mpo ete nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai. Yawe, ozali Lisungi mpe Mokangoli na ngai, kowumela te!
