< Banzembo 131 >

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, motema na ngai ezali na lofundu te, miso na ngai ezali na posa makasi te; namipesaka te na makambo oyo eleki ya minene mpe eleki pasi mpo na ngai.
A song of ascents; of David. Yahweh, my heart is not proud or my eyes haughty. I do not have great hopes for myself or concern myself with things that are beyond me.
2 Kasi nabatelaki kimia kati na motema na ngai mpe namitungisaki te lokola mwana moke elongo na mama na ye. Nazali na kimia lokola mwana oyo mama alongola na mabele.
Indeed I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, my soul within me is like a weaned child.
3 Isalaele, tia elikya kati na Yawe kobanda sik’oyo mpe libela na libela.
Israel, hope in Yahweh now and forever.
