¹{To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.} Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

¹ Doonkoy jine bora se. I m'a doon da moolo beeri karyaŋ. Dawda wane no.

²From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

² Ya Irikoy, ma maa ay hẽeno se, Ma hanga jeeri ay adduwa se mo.

³For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

³ Za ndunnya me no ay ga ni ce, Waati kaŋ ay bina gaze. M'ay candi ka kond'ay tondo kaŋ ga ku da ay do.

⁴I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

⁴ Zama ni ya koruyaŋ do no ay se, Cinari gaabikooni mo no kaŋ ra ay ga tugu ay ibare se.

⁵For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

⁵ Naŋ ay ma goro ni bukka ra duumi, Naŋ ay ma kosaray ceeci ni fatey biyo cire. (Wa dangay)

⁶Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

⁶ Zama nin, ya Irikoy, ni maa ay sartey, Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga humburu ni maa, ni n'ay no i tubo gaa.

⁷He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

⁷ Ni ga bonkoono fundi jirbey kuukandi, A jiirey mo ga baa sanda zamana boobo.

⁸So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

⁸ A ga goro Irikoy jine hal abada. Ni ma baakasinay suuji nda cimi daŋ kaŋ g'a haggoy.

⁹ Yaadin gaa no ay ga sifaw baytu te ni maa gaa duumi, Zama ay m'ay sartey toonandi zaari kulu.
