¹Surely God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

¹SENMAGAJET si Yuus na mauleg para Israel, ni ayo sija y mangasgas na corason.

²But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

²Ya guajo cánaja sumuja y adengjo; didideja tentenjan sulon y pinecatta.

³For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

³Sa jumalatgue y mangaduco, anae julie y minauleg y manaelaye.

⁴For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

⁴Sa taya pinite gui finataeñija: lao y minetgotñija fitme.

⁵They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

⁵Taya chinatsagañija taegüije y otro taotao sija; ni ufanmasapet taegüije y palo na taotao sija.

⁶Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

⁶Enaomina na sobetbia y cadena nii lisayon y cueyoñija; y finijom tumampe sija taegüije y magago.

⁷Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

⁷Y atadogñija mamachom ni y yinemog; guajañija mas qui y corason siña umalatgue.

⁸They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

⁸Sija manmanbotlelea, yan jasasangan chiniguit gui tinaelaye: jasasangan y mansentaquilo.

⁹They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

⁹Japolo y pachotñija gui langet, yan y jilañija janafanmamocat gui inanaco y tano.

¹⁰Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.

¹⁰Enao mina y taotaoña manalo mague: yan y binilan y janom gui posuelo umafugo nu sija.

¹¹They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

¹¹Ya ilegñija: Jaftaemano tungoña si Yuus? Ada guaja tiningo gui Gueftaquilo?

¹²Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

¹²Sa estagüe ya sija y manaelaye; ya sija manmegae gui tano, sa taya chinatsagañija todo y jaane.

¹³Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,

¹³Senmagajet na taebale y junagasgas y corasonjo: yan jufagase y canaejo gui guinasgas.

¹⁴For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.

¹⁴Sa todo y inanaco y jaane chatsagayo, yan y castigojo cada ogaan.

¹⁵If I had said, “I will speak thus”; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

¹⁵Yaguin jagasja jualog, bae jusangan este; este na jagasja judague y generasion: y famaguonmo.

¹⁶When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶Yaguin jujaso jaftaemano na jutungo este, sumenmacat para guajo;

¹⁷Until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁷Asta que jujalom gui sinantos na sagayan gui as Yuus; ya jujaso y uttimoñija.

¹⁸Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁸Magajet na jago pumolo sija gui palagse na sagayan; jago yumute sija papa gui jalom y yinilang.

¹⁹How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

¹⁹Sa jaftaemano na ufanyinilang, gui un rato! sija chadig malimachae ni y minaañao sija.

²⁰As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.

²⁰Taegüije güinife an magmata; taegüenaoja, O Señot, yaguin magmatajao, unchatlie y jechurañija.

²¹For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

²¹Sa y corasonjo estaba triste, ya matogchayo gui sumanjalom.

²²I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

²²Na taegüije taejinasoyo, yan taetiningoyo: taegüijeyo y gâgâ gui menamo.

²³Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

²³Masqueseaja gagaegueyo siempre guiya jago; jago mumantiene y agapa na canaejo.

²⁴You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

²⁴Jago umesgaejonyo ni y consejumo, ya despues unresibeyo gui langet.

²⁵Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.

²⁵Ya jayeyo guajayo gui langet sino jagoja? ya taya gui jilo y tano güinaeyaco, na jagoja.

²⁶My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

²⁶Y catneco yan y corasonjo malachae: lao si Yuus y minetgot y corasonjo, yan y güinajajo para taejinecog.

²⁷For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.

²⁷Sa, estagüe ya ayo sija y mañago guiya jago, na ufanmalingo: jago yumulang todo ayo sija y manjanao guiya jago para inábale.

²⁸But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

²⁸Lao mauleg para guajo y juguaguato jijot gui as Yuus: sa jupolo y inangococo gui Señot Jeova, para usiña jusangan todo y chechomo.
