Banzembo 61

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka koganga na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo na ngai.

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

2 Wuta na suka ya mokili, nazali kobelela Yo, motema na ngai ebukani! Mema ngai na libanga oyo eleki likolo epai wapi nakokoka te kokoma ngai moko.

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

3 Pamba te, ozali ebombamelo na ngai, ndako molayi batonga makasi, liboso ya banguna na ngai.

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

4 Posa ya motema na ngai ezali: kovanda tango nyonso kati na Ndako na Yo mpe kozwa ebombamelo na se ya mapapu na Yo.

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

5 Pamba te Yo Nzambe, oyokaki bandayi na ngai, opesaki ngai libula ya bato oyo batosaka Kombo na Yo.

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6 Pesa na mokonzi na biso bomoi molayi; tika ete awumela na bomoi.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

7 Tika ete awumela na bokonzi libela na libela liboso ya Nzambe! Bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo ekobatela ye.

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

8 Boye, nakoyemba mikolo nyonso mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, mpe nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mokolo na mokolo.

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
