¹Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

¹ Dawda baytu fo no. Ya Rabbi, ay goono ga ni ce, ma cahã ka kaa ay do. Ma hanga jeeri ay jinda se waati kaŋ ay na ni ce.

²Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

² Ma naŋ ay adduwey ma salle ni jine sanda dugu cine, Ay kambe salleyaŋo ma hima sanda wiciri kambu sarga.

³Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

³ Ya Rabbi, ma haggoyko daŋ ay meyo se. Ma batuko daŋ ay me-kuurey se.

⁴Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

⁴ Ma s'ay bina miila siirandi a ma koy hari laalo kulu do, Kaŋ ga naŋ ay ma furo laala goy muraadu ra, Taali-teerey banda. Ma si naŋ ay m'i laam'izey ŋwa.

⁵Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

⁵ Naŋ day adilante m'ay kar baakasinay ra, A ma kaseeti ay gaa mo. Amma boro laaley ma si baa ji tuusu ay boŋo gaa, Zama ay adduwa ga tonton nda jina koyyaŋ ka gaaba nda i goy laaley.

⁶Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

⁶ Da i n'i maykoy catu ganda i ma fun tondi jabu gaa, Gaa no jama ga maa ay sanney, zama i ga kaan.

⁷“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .”

⁷ Sanda mate kaŋ cine i ga laabu beeri farmi waate, Yaadin cine no i biriyey go ga say-say saarayey me gaa.

⁸For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

⁸ Zama ay moy, ya Rabbi, Koy Beero, i go ni gaa, Ni do no ay ga koru. Ma s'ay fundo naŋ kosaray si.

⁹Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

⁹ M'ay batu k'ay waa da kumsa kaŋ i deeniya ay se, Kaŋ ga ti taali-teerey hirrimey.

¹⁰Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.

¹⁰ Naŋ boro laaley ma kaŋ ngey taaru hirrimey ra. Day ay wo, ay ma bisa baani samay.
