1{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
1 Dawda baytu fo no. Ya Rabbi, ay goono ga ni ce, ma cahã ka kaa ay do. Ma hanga jeeri ay jinda se waati kaŋ ay na ni ce.
2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
2 Ma naŋ ay adduwey ma salle ni jine sanda dugu cine, Ay kambe salleyaŋo ma hima sanda wiciri kambu sarga.
3Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
3 Ya Rabbi, ma haggoyko daŋ ay meyo se. Ma batuko daŋ ay me-kuurey se.
4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
4 Ma s'ay bina miila siirandi a ma koy hari laalo kulu do, Kaŋ ga naŋ ay ma furo laala goy muraadu ra, Taali-teerey banda. Ma si naŋ ay m'i laam'izey ŋwa.
5Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
5 Naŋ day adilante m'ay kar baakasinay ra, A ma kaseeti ay gaa mo. Amma boro laaley ma si baa ji tuusu ay boŋo gaa, Zama ay adduwa ga tonton nda jina koyyaŋ ka gaaba nda i goy laaley.
6When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
6 Da i n'i maykoy catu ganda i ma fun tondi jabu gaa, Gaa no jama ga maa ay sanney, zama i ga kaan.
7Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
7 Sanda mate kaŋ cine i ga laabu beeri farmi waate, Yaadin cine no i biriyey go ga say-say saarayey me gaa.
8For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
8 Zama ay moy, ya Rabbi, Koy Beero, i go ni gaa, Ni do no ay ga koru. Ma s'ay fundo naŋ kosaray si.
9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
9 M'ay batu k'ay waa da kumsa kaŋ i deeniya ay se, Kaŋ ga ti taali-teerey hirrimey.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that *I* withal pass over.
10 Naŋ boro laaley ma kaŋ ngey taaru hirrimey ra. Day ay wo, ay ma bisa baani samay.
