Banzembo 70

1 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!

Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

2 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!

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

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

Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

4 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! »

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

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

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
