Banzembo 67

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi: nzembo ya koyemba na lindanda. Loyembo. Tika ete Nzambe asalela biso ngolu mpe apambola biso, tika ete angengisela biso elongi na Ye;

Unto the end, in, hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David. May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

2 mpo ete toyeba nzela na Yo kati na mokili, mpe lobiko na Yo kati na bikolo nyonso.

That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

3 Oh Nzambe, tika ete bikolo ekumisa Yo; tika ete bikolo nyonso ekumisa Yo!

Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

4 Tika ete bato basepela, tika ete babeta milolo ya esengo, pamba te okambaka bikolo na bosembo, mpe otambolisaka bato awa na mabele.

Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

5 Oh Nzambe, tika ete bikolo ekumisa Yo; tika ete bikolo nyonso ekumisa Yo!

Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

6 Mabele eboti bambuma na yango; tika ete Nzambe, Nzambe na biso, apambola biso.

The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

7 Tika ete Nzambe apambola biso; tika ete mokili mobimba etosa Ye!

May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
