¹Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

¹AGUAGUATE, O Jeova, ayo y umaguaguaguateyo; mumo yan ayo y amumumujo.

²Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.

²Mantiene y patang yan guinegüe, ya tojgue para unayudayo.

³Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”

³Ya chule y lansa ya patang y chalan contra ayo y pumetsisigueyo: alog ni antijo: Guajo y satbasionmo.

⁴Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

⁴Polo ya ufanmamajlao, ya ufanquinenfunde y umaliligao y antijo: polo ya ufanalo tate ya ufanmamajlao y jumajaso y taelayejo.

⁵Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on.

⁵Polo sija ya calang y paja gui menan y manglo: ya y angjet Jeova ufanchineneg sija.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.

⁶Polo y chalanñija ya jomjom yan palagse: ya y angjet Jeova ufanpinetsigue sija.

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

⁷Sa sin causa manatog para guajo y lagua gui joyo: ya sin causa manmanguadog joyo para y antijo.

⁸Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

⁸Polo ya ufato guiya güiya ya yinilang ni ti jatungo: polo ya y lagua ni janaaatog, ucone maesagüe: yan y jalom yinilang nae upodong güe.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh. It shall rejoice in his salvation.

⁹Ya umagof y antijo gui as Jeova: ya umagof gui satbasionña.

¹⁰All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

¹⁰Todo y telangjo y ilegñija: Jeova, jaye parejumo? ni unalibre y mamoble gui mas manmetgot qui güiya: magajet na y mamoble yan y mannesesitao, guinin y jachulelejguan?

¹¹Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.

¹¹Mangajulo testigon mandague: ya jafaesenyo ni y ti jutungo.

¹²They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

¹²Manaeyo ni taelaye pot y mauleg, ya manataelaye y antijo.

¹³But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.

¹³Lao guajo anae manmalango sija, magagojo y luto: junatriste y antijo yan umayunat: y tinaetaejo tumalo jalom gui pechoco.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

¹⁴Mamomocat yo ya ileleco: Güiya buente y gachongjo, pat y chelujo: ya tumecon yo triste calang uno ni y umuugung pot si nanaña.

¹⁵But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.

¹⁵Lao anae desgrasiaoyo, sija manmagof ya mandaña: ya y gosnamaase mandaña contra guajo ya guajo ti jutungo: sija matitegyo ya ti manbasta.

¹⁶Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

¹⁶Parejo yan y áplacha na minefea gui fandango, janachéchegcheg y nifenñija guiya guajo.

¹⁷Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

¹⁷Jeova, asta ngaean nae unatan? nalibre y antijo gui yinilangña, yan y beya y corasonjo gui león.

¹⁸I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

¹⁸Junae jao grasias gui dangculon y inetnon taotao: ya jualaba jao gui entalo linajyan taotao.

¹⁹Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

¹⁹Chamo pumopolo na ufanmamagof guiya guajo y enimigujo sin jafa? ni ayo y chumatlieyo sin causa jaachetgue yo nu y atadog.

²⁰For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

²⁰Sa ti manguecuentos pas: ya contra y manmanso gui tano jajajaso y finijo dinague.

²¹Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

²¹Magajet na jabababa y pachotñija contra guajo; ilegñija: Ja, ja y atadogmameja lumie.

²²You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

²²Unlie este, O Jeova; chamo famatquiquilo: O Jeova, chamo chachago guiya guajo.

²³Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!

²³Jaso ya fagmata para y juisioco; junggan, para y causaco Yuusso yan y Señotto.

²⁴Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

²⁴Jusgayo taemanoja y tininasmo, O Jeova, Yuusso, ya chamo pumopolo na ufanmamagof guiya guajo.

²⁵Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

²⁵Chamo pumopolo na ujaalog gui corasonñija: Ja, taegüije manmalagojit; chamo pumopolo na ujaalog: Jita jagas tacalamot güe.

²⁶Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

²⁶Polo ya ufanmamajlao ya ufañatsaga ayo sija y manmagof pot y manadañujo: polo ya ufanminagago ni y minamajlao yan y disonra y munadangculo sija contra guajo.

²⁷Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yes, let them say continually, “Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

²⁷Polo ya ufanagang ni minagof ya ufanmagof y gumaeya y tinas na causaco: junggan, polo ya ujaalog siempre: innadangculo si Jeova, ni y yaña na memegae y tentagoña.

²⁸Ya y jilajo usangan ni y tininasmo, yan todotdia ni y alabansamo.
