¹{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

¹ Doonkoy jine bora Yedutun se. Dawda baytu fo no.

²He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

² Irikoy hinne se no ay fundo ga hangan dangayyaŋ ra, A do no ay faaba ga fun.

³How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

³ Nga hinne no ga ti ay tondi daaro d'ay faaba. Nga no ga ti ay cinari gaabikoono; ay si zinji gumo.

⁴They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

⁴ Ya araŋ kulu, alwaati marge no araŋ ga soobay ka tun boro gaa zama araŋ m'a wi se, Sanda cinari kaŋ ga siiri, wala sinkita kaŋ ga zinji?

⁵Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

⁵ I si hay kulu saaware te kala day ngey m'a tuti k'a zumandi ka kaa nga beera ra. I go ga maa tangari kaani. Me ra kay, i ga albarka daŋ, Amma i biney ra i goono ga laaliyaŋ te. (Wa dangay)

⁶He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

⁶ Ya ay fundo, ma hangan Irikoy hinne se dangayyaŋ ra, Zama a do no ay beeja ga fun.

⁷With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁷ Nga hinne no ga ti ay tondi daaro d'ay faaba, D'ay cinari gaabikoono mo, ay si zinji bo.

⁸Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

⁸ Irikoy do no ay faaba d'ay darza go. Ay gaabo tondi daaro d'ay koruyaŋo, Irikoy do no i go.

⁹Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

⁹ Ya araŋ ndunnya dumey, wa de a gaa alwaati kulu. Wa araŋ biney gusam a jine. Irikoy ya koruyaŋ do no iri se. (Wa dangay)

¹⁰Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

¹⁰ Daahir, Adam-izey wo yaamoyaŋ no, Jine borey mo ciya tangari hari yaŋ no. D'i g'i neesi tiŋay neesiyaŋ hari boŋ, I kulu care banda, i ga dogon no fakat! ka bisa haw kaŋ i ga fulanzam d'a.

¹¹Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

¹¹ Wa si de kankami gaa, wa si zankam da komyaŋ, Da arzaka tonton mo, araŋ ma si laakal sinji a gaa.

¹²And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.

¹² Irikoy salaŋ sorro folloŋ, Hala sorro hinka zaati ay maa woone: Hini ya Irikoy wane no.

¹³ Ya ay Koyo, baakasinay suuji ya ni wane mo no, Zama ni ga boro kulu bana nga goyo boŋ.
