1 Yawe azali kokonza! Tika ete mabele esepela; tika ete ebele ya bisanga ezala na esengo!

2 Mapata mpe molili makasi ezingeli Ye, bosembo mpe bosolo ezali miboko ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
3 Moto etambolaka liboso na Ye, ezikisaka banguna na Ye, oyo bazingeli Ye.
There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
4 Mikalikali na Ye engengisaka mokili; mpe tango mabele emonaka bongo, elengaka.

9 Pamba te, na mokili mobimba, Yo nde Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo; oleki banzambe nyonso.
For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
