You made my mountain to stand still;
but when you hid your face,
I lost my heart.” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:

“Yahweh, because you were good to me,
at first you caused me to be safe as though I was inside a mountain.
But then I became ill, and I thought that you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
