¹Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

¹JAFA na tumojgue jao na chago, O Jeova? jafa na umatogjao gui tiempon chinatsaga.

²In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

²Sa pot sobetbia y taelaye na japetsisigue y pebble; ufanmachule gui finababa y manmajajaso.

³For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

³Sa enao mina jatunanmaesagüe y taelaye, ni y minalago y antiña: ya y manlagga jarechasa; junggan, jadespresia si Jeova.

⁴The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

⁴Y taelaye pot y sobetbia y mataña, ilegña: ti jaaliligao si Yuus: Gui todo y jinasoña, jasangan: Taya Yuus.

⁵His ways are prosperous at all times. He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

⁵Y chalanña chatsaga todo y tiempo; y juisiomo goschago gui linieña: ya todo y enimiguña, güiya jaguaefe sija.

⁶He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

⁶Ilegña gui corasonña: Ti jucalamten: gui todo y generasion sija, ti jufalag y chinatsaga.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

⁷Y matdision bula y pachotña yan dinague yan chiniguit: y papa y jilaña inacacha yan tinaelaye.

⁸He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

⁸Gaegue matatachong y lugat ti matungo gui sengsong: ya y umatog na lugat japupuno y taeisao: y atadogña manaatanja contra y pebble.

⁹He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

⁹Jananangga gui lugat ti matungo, taegüije y leon gui liyangña: jananangga para ucone y pebble: jacone y pebble anae jayotte ni y lasoña.

¹⁰The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

¹⁰Jacojajatgüe, janatunog, megae na manaeninasiña mamodong gui gaesisiña na iyoña.

¹¹He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”

¹¹Ylegña gui corasonña: Si Yuus esta malefa: janaatog y mataña; taya nae jalie.

¹²Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

¹²Cajulo, O Jeova; O Yuus, jatsa y canaemo: chamo malelefa ni y mamoble.

¹³Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account?”

¹³Pot jafa jadespresia y taelaye si Yuus; ya ilegña gui corasonño: Jago ti ugagao.

¹⁴But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁴Jago lumie: sa jago umatan y inacacha yan y minattrata, para uchule gui canaemo: yya jago nae mandaña y mamoble: y manaesaena, jago umayuyuda.

¹⁵Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

¹⁵Yulang y canae y manaelaye: ya ayo y taelaye, aliligao jao y tinailayeña asta qui ti unsoda.

¹⁶Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

¹⁶Si Jeova Ray na para taejinecog yan taejinecog: ya y nasion esta manmalachae gui tanoña.

¹⁷Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

¹⁷Y minalago y manumitde jago jumungog, O Jeova: jago dumespopone y corasonñija, ungueguesecungog ni y talangamo:

¹⁸to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

¹⁸Para unjusga y manaesaena yan y mamoble: para chamo tumatalo munamaañao y taotao gui tano.
