¹Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.

¹ Doonkoy jine bora se. Dawda baytu fo no. Ya Rabbi, ni n'ay fintal, ni n'ay bay mo.

²You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

² Ay goray d'ay tunyaŋ kulu, ni g'i bay. Ni n'ay fonguyaŋey bay za nangu mooro.

³You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

³ Ni n'ay fonda d'ay kaniyaŋo kulu fintal, Ni n'ay muraadey kulu bay.

⁴For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

⁴ Zama za sanni kulu si no ay deena boŋ, Nin, ya Rabbi, ni n'a kulu bay.

⁵You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.

⁵ Ni n'ay kali jina nda banda, Ni na ni kambe dake ay boŋ.

⁶This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

⁶ Bayray woodin, a dambara bisa ay gaabi. A ga ku, ay si hin ka to a gaa.

⁷Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?

⁷ Man no ay ga koy ka fay da ni Biya, Wala man no ay ga zuru ni se ka koy?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , behold, you are there!

⁸ D'ay kaaru ka koy hala beena ra, ni go noodin. D'ay n'ay daarijo daaru Alaahara, noodin mo ni go no.

⁹If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;

⁹ D'ay na mo boyaŋ fata sambu hala ay ma koy ka goro teeko ya-haray meyo gaa,

¹⁰Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.

¹⁰ Hala noodin bumbo ni kambe g'ay candi, Ni kambe ŋwaari g'ay gaay.

¹¹If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night”;

¹¹ D'ay ne: «Daahir kubay no g'ay daabu, Hananyaŋo kaŋ go ay windanta mo ga ciya cin.»

¹²even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

¹² Kubay bumbo manti kubay no ni se, Cin mo ga kaari sanda zaari cine. Kubay da kaari, i kulu afolloŋ no ni se.

¹³For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

¹³ Zama ay taka kulu, nin no k'a te. Ni n'ay dabu-dabu za ay nyaŋo gunde ra.

¹⁴I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

¹⁴ Ay ga saabu ni se, Zama ay teeyaŋo ya humburkumay hari no, Haŋ kaŋ ga dambarandi mo no. Ni goyey ga dambarandi, Woodin mo ay bina n'a bay gumo.

¹⁵My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

¹⁵ Ay biriyey manti tugante no ni se, Waato kaŋ i n'ay te tuguyaŋ ra, Waato kaŋ i n'ay cina nda gonitaray ndunnya guusuyaŋey ra.

¹⁶Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

¹⁶ Ni moy go ga di ay za ay go kuri gude. Jirbey kaŋ ni waadu ay se mo, ni n'i kabu, I n'i kulu hantum ni tira ra, Za waati kaŋ baa afo mana te jina.

¹⁷How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

¹⁷ Ya Irikoy, man ni miiley darza misa ay se! Man i kabuyaŋo baayaŋ misa!

¹⁸If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

¹⁸ D'ay g'i kabu, i baa da laabu gurey. Waati kaŋ ay mo hay, hala hõ day ay go ni banda.

¹⁹If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

¹⁹ Ya Irikoy, doŋ day ni ma boro laaley wi! Ya araŋ borey kaŋ goono ga kuri mun, Wa gana ka fun ay gaa.

²⁰For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.

²⁰ Zama i goono ga ni ciine te da laala, Ni ibarey mo goono ga ni maa ce yaamo.

²¹Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

²¹ Ya Rabbi, manti ay konna ni konnakoy? Manti ay ga dukur da borey kaŋ yaŋ murte ni gaa?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

²² Ay ga konn'ey da konnari toonante, I ciya ay ibareyaŋ.

²³Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

²³ Ya Irikoy, ni m'ay fintal k'ay bina bay. M'ay neesi, k'ay fonguyaŋey bay.

²⁴See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

²⁴ Ma guna ka di hala laala fondo fo go no ay do, Ma jine candi ay se mo hal abada fonda ra.
