Maskilɛ.* Wa Davidɛ etena kakinde lo wooko wa dive.+ Dɔmbɛlɔ.

142 La dui diami, dimi mbelɛka Jehowa dia nyanga ekimanyielo;+

La dui diami, dimi sɛngasɛngaka Jehowa dia mbokama kɛtshi.

2 La ntondo kande katami ekiyanu ami;

La ntondo kande katami paa yami+

3 Etena kahekɔ lomu* lami.

Wɛ mendaka mboka kami.+

Lo ɔsɛsɛ wakɛndakɛndami,

Vɔ mbishɛka djonga dia mindami.

4 Enda lonya lami l’omi kele ɛnyi

Dia ndooko onto lambidja yimba.*+

Ndooko dihole diakokami ndawɔ;+

Ndooko onto layakiyanya dikambo diami.*

5 Jehowa le, wɛ kelɛmi dia nyanga ekimanyielo.

Dimi mbutaka nte: “Wɛ kele eshamelo kami,+

Kɛnɛ tshɛ kele la mi* lo wodja wa wasɛna.”

6 Odje yimba lo delo diayangami ekimanyielo,

Nɛ dia dimi lambokitshama l’ɛse efula.

Ombitsha oma le wanɛ wampɛnyahɛnya,+

Nɛ dia vɔ ndekami wolo.

7 Ontondja* oma lo lokanu

Dia ntombola lokombo layɛ.

Anto w’ɛlɔlɔ wasangane lalemi

Nɛ dia wɛ salɛkami akambo la ngandji.
