¹{A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

¹ Asaf baytu fo no. Ya Irikoy, dumi cindey furo ni laabo ra, I na ni fu hananta ziibandi, I na Urusalima zeeri ka te kurmu.

²The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:

² I na ni tam buukoy nooyandi beene curey se i ma ŋwa, Ni hanantey hamey mo, i n'i no ndunnya ganji hamey se.

³Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them].

³ I n'i kurey mun sanda hari cine Urusalima windanta, Fijiko si no mo.

⁴We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.

⁴ Iri ciya haawi hari iri gorokasiney se, Donda-caray da hahaarayaŋ hari mo borey kaŋ yaŋ goono g'iri windi se.

⁵How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁵ Ya Rabbi, waati fo no a ga ban? Ni ga soobay ka futu hal abada no? Ni cansa ga soobay ka ŋwa no sanda danji cine?

⁶Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:

⁶ Ma ni futay korna gusam dumi cindey kaŋ si ni bay boŋ. Mayrayey boŋ mo koyne kaŋ siino ga ni maa ce.

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.

⁷ Zama i na Yakuba ŋwa ka ban, I n'a nangora ciya kurmu mo.

⁸Remember not against us the iniquities of [our] forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

⁸ Ma si fongu iri kaayey taaley gaa k'i dake iri boŋ mo. Ma naŋ ni bakarawo ma waasu ka kaa k'iri kubay, Zama iri di kayna gumo.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

⁹ Ya iri faaba Irikoyo, m'iri gaa ni maa darza sabbay se. M'iri kaa kambe, m'iri zunubey yaafa mo, Ni maa wo sabbay se.

¹⁰Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

¹⁰ Ifo se no dumi cindey ga ne: «Man no i Irikoyo go me?» Ni tamey kurey kaŋ i mun din, I ma bay a fansa banayaŋo gaa ndunnya dumi cindey ra iri jine.

¹¹Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;

¹¹ Hawantey durayyaŋo ma to ni do. Ni hino beera boŋ ni ma borey kaŋ yaŋ i suuban buuyaŋ se din hallasi.

¹²And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹² Ya ay Koyo, wowo kaŋ iri gorokasiney na ni wow d'a din, M'a yeti i se i gandey ra hala labu-care iyye.

¹³And we, thy people and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee for ever; we will shew forth thy praise from generation to generation.

¹³ Yaadin gaa no iri, ni borey, Kaŋ ga ti ni kuray nango feejey, Iri ga saabu ni se hal abada. Iri ga ni sifayaŋo cabe zamaney kulu se.
