Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 69:9:
- Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
“for the haste done for your house has gotten me killed
and the insult of those who insult You has befallen me.” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation) - Newari:

like fire in my heart.
Those who disgrace You have brought disgrace on me.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon:

“For your House, my love burns like fire,
and when people insult you, they also insult me.” (Source: Laarim Back Translation) - Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
“Upendo wangu kwa nyumba yako,
unawaka kama moto ndani mwangu.
Matusi ambayo wanakutukana wewe,
yalinikuta na mimi.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation) - English:
“Some people have despised your temple;
but my zeal for keeping your temple holy is like a fire burning inside me.
So it is as though those who are insulting you are also insulting me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
