Psalms 86

1 Lusambulu lu Davidi. Wa, a Yave, ayi wuphani mvutu bila ndidi nkua kiadi ayi ndidi nsukami.

A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.

2 Keba luzingu luama bila ndikiyekula kuidi ngeyo. Ngeyo Nzambi ama, vukisa kisadi kiaku kikusilanga diana.

Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.

3 Bika wumbona kiadi, a Yave, Bila ngeyo ndieti tela mu lumbu kimvimba.

O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.

4 Nata khini kuidi kisadi kiaku. Bila kuidi ngeyo, a Yave ndieti vumuna muelꞌama.

Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.

5 Ngeyo widi wumboti ayi weti lemvukilanga; ayi widi wufuluka mu mamboti kuidi bobo beti kutela.

For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.

6 Wa lusambulu luama, a Yave; wa bumboti yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi.

Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.

7 Mu lumbu ki ziphasi ziama ngeyo ndiela tela, bila ngeyo wela kuphana mvutu.

In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.

8 A Va khatitsika zinzambi, kuisi ko yoyi yidedikini banga ngeyo, a Yave ayi kuisi ko mavanga madedakani banga maku.

There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.

9 Makanda moso momo wuvanga mela kuiza ayi mela buongama va ntualꞌaku, a Yave, ayi mela nata nkembo kuidi dizina diaku.

All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.

10 Bila ngeyo widi wunneni ayi ngeyo wumvanganga mavanga matsiminanga; ngeyo kaka Nzambi.

For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.

11 Wundongi nzilꞌaku, a Yave ayi ndiela diatila mu bukiedika buaku; bika wuphana ntima wukambu vasuka muingi ndikinzikanga dizina diaku.

Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.

12 Ndiela kuzitisa, a Yave Nzambi ama, mu ntimꞌama wumvimba ayi ndiela kembisanga dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso.

I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.

13 Bila luzolo luaku luidi lunneni kuidi minu ngeyo wukhula mu zithipula zi tsi bafua. (Sheol h7585)

For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (Sheol h7585)

14 Batu baluniemo balembo nduanisa, a Nzambi; ayi nkangu wu batu ba makhemi balembo tombi luzingu luama; batu bakambulu thalu mu ngeyo.

O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.

15 Vayi ngeyo, a Yave, weti mona kiadi; yimonisanga nlemvo, wuvika fuemanga ko; fulukidi mu luzolo ayi mu kikhuikizi.

And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.

16 Baluka kuidi minu ayi wumboni kiadi; vana zingolo ziaku kuidi kisadi kiaku ayi vukisa muana kisadi kiaku ki nketo.

Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.

17 Bika wuphana dimbu ki mamboti maku muingi bambeni ziama zimona kiawu ayi bafua tsoni bila ngeyo Yave wutsadisidi ayi wumbombidi.

Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
