¹ Doonkoy jine bora se. Rabbi tamo Dawda wane no. A na baytu woone sanney ci Rabbi se hano kaŋ hane Rabbi n'a kaa nga ibarey kulu da Sawulu mo kambe ra. A ne:

²Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

² Ya Rabbi ay gaabo, ay ga ba nin.

³I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

³ Rabbi ya ay tondo no, d'ay wongu fuwo, d'ay faabakwa mo, D'ay Irikoyo, ay tondi gaabikoono. A ra no ay ga tugu. Ay korayo d'ay faaba hillo, D'ay cinari kuuko mo no koyne.

⁴The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁴ Ay ga ce Rabbi gaa, nga kaŋ to sifayaŋ. Woodin ga naŋ ay ma du faaba ka fun ay ibarey kambe ra.

⁵The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁵ Buuyaŋ korfey didiji ay gaa, Irikoy jaŋ-ka-ganayaŋ baayaŋo n'ay humburandi.

⁶In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

⁶ Alaahara korfey n'ay koli ka windi, Buuyaŋ hirrimey n'ay di.

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁷ Ay kankamo ra ay na Rabbi ce, Ay na jinde tunandi ay Irikoyo gaa. A maa ay jinda nga fuwo ra, Ay hẽeno kaŋ ay te a jine din mo furo a hangey ra.

⁸Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

⁸ Saaya din no laabo gaan, a zinji. Tondi kuukey tiksey nyooti, I zinji-zinji, zama Rabbi futu.

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

⁹ Dullu fun a niina ra ka ciciri, Danji mo kaŋ ga ŋwa ka ban fun a meyo ra. A na danji-bi yaŋ diyandi.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

¹⁰ A na beena gungumandi ka zumbu ganda. Kubay bi tik go a ce taamey cire.

¹¹He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹¹ A kaaru ciiti malayka* boŋ ka tun beene. Oho, a tun da waasi haw fatey boŋ ka deesi.

¹²At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

¹² A na kuba ciya nga tuguyaŋ do. A bukka no kaŋ go g'a windi, hari kubay, beene hirriyaŋ beerey no.

¹³Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³ A beene hirriyaŋ beerey bisa, zama kaari go a jine, Da gari da danj'ize.

¹⁴He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

¹⁴ Rabbi kaati beeney ra, Beeray-Beeri-Koyo na nga jinda beerandi, gari da danji ize.

¹⁵Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁵ A na nga hangawey donton k'i say-say. Oho, a maliyaŋ booba no, ka n'i kar ka say mo.

¹⁶He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁶ Ya Rabbi, ni kaatiyaŋo da ni niina funsuyaŋo yooja mo gaa, Goorayze kuukey bangay, ndunnya tiksey mo fun taray.

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁷ A go beene, a donton k'ay sambu, A n'ay candi ka kaa hari-yaa* bambatey ra.

¹⁸They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁸ A n'ay hamay ka kaa ay ibare gaabikoono kambe ra, Da borey kaŋ yaŋ konna ay kambe ra mo, Zama i bisa ay gaabi.

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

¹⁹ I kaŋ ay boŋ ay masiiba zaaro ra, Amma Rabbi ciya ay se deyaŋ hari.

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²⁰ A kande ay nangu yulwanta ra. A n'ay kaa kambe, zama a ga farhã d'ay.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²¹ Rabbi n'ay bana ay adilitara hino me, Ay kambey hananyaŋo me no a yeti ay se.

²²For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.

²² Zama ay na Rabbi fondey haggoy, Ay mana laala mo ka fay d'ay Irikoyo.

²³I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²³ Zama a farilley kulu go ay jine, Ay man'a hin sanney mo ganandi.

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁴ Ay ya toonante no a do haray. Ay n'ay fundo gaay mo ay laalayaŋ ciine ra.

²⁵With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

²⁵ Woodin se no Rabbi bana ay se ay adilitara hino me, D'ay kambey hananyaŋ hino me nga jine.

²⁶With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁶ Suujikoy se ni ga ni boŋ cabe Suujikoy. Boro toonante se mo ni ga ni boŋ cabe toonante.

²⁷For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

²⁷ Boro kaŋ bina ga hanan se ni ga ni boŋ cabe bine-hanno-koy. Siirante mo, ni ga ni boŋ cabe a se carmaykom.

²⁸For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

²⁸ Zama ni ga taabantey faaba, Amma ni ga boŋ-jarekoy kaynandi.

²⁹For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

²⁹ Zama ni g'ay fitilla diyandi, Rabbi ay Irikoyo g'ay kuba hanandi.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³⁰ Zama ni hino no ay na wongu sata gaaba nd'a, Ay Irikoyo hino no ay ga cinari sar ka daaru nd'a.

³¹For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

³¹ Irikoy wo, a fonda ya toonante no. Rabbi sanno ya neesante mo no, Koray mo no boro kulu kaŋ ga tugu a ra se.

³² Zama may no ga ti Irikoy, kala Rabbi? May no ga ti tondi, kala iri Irikoyo?

³³He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

³³ Irikoy kaŋ n'ay guddama da gaabi, A n'ay fonda ciya toonante.

³⁴He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁴ A n'ay cey ciya sanda jeeri wane yaŋ cine, A g'ay daŋ ay nangu beerey boŋ.

³⁵You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁵ A g'ay kambayzey dondonandi wongu, Hala ay kambey ga haw daŋ guuru-say birawo ra.

³⁶You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁶ Ni n'ay no ni faaba korayo mo, Ni kambe ŋwaaro n'ay gaay, Ni baano mo n'ay beerandi.

³⁷I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁷ Ni n'ay taamu-taamu yaŋ feeri ay cire, Ay ce jindey mo mana mulay.

³⁸I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁸ Ay n'ay ibarey ce banda gana, ay n'i to mo, Ay mana bare ka ye mo kala kaŋ ay n'i ŋwa ka ban.

³⁹For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

³⁹ Ay n'i gooru k'i fun hala i mongo ka hin ka tun, I kaŋ ay ce taamey cire.

⁴⁰You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴⁰ Zama ni n'ay guddu nda gaabi wongu sabbay se. Borey kaŋ yaŋ tun ay gaa mo, ni naŋ i ma sumbal ay cire.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴¹ Ni naŋ mo ay ibarey ma jinde banda no ay se, Zama ay m'ay konnakoy tuusu.

⁴²Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴² I kuuwa, amma faabako si no. I hẽ baa Rabbi gaa, amma a mana tu i se.

⁴³You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴³ Waato din gaa no ay n'i kar hala i ciya sanda kusa kaŋ haw goono ga gaaray. Ay n'i mun sanda kwaara ra fondo gaa potor-potor cine.

⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

⁴⁴ Ni n'ay faaba borey canda-canda gaa. Ni n'ay ciya dumi cindey mayko. Dumi kaŋ doŋ ay s'a bay, a go ga may ay se.

⁴⁵The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁵ Ay baaru maayaŋ gaa i g'ay gana, Yawey ga boŋ ye ay se ganda.

⁴⁶Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁶ Yawey ga lakaw, I ga fatta ngey wongu fuwey ra, i gaahamey go ga jijiri.

⁴⁷even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

⁴⁷ Rabbi ya fundikooni no! W'ay tondo sifa! Ay faaba Irikoyo, w'a beerandi gumo!

⁴⁸He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁸ Irikoy no ga bana ay se, A ga dumi waani-waani daŋ ay mayra cire.

⁴⁹Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

⁴⁹ A g'ay hamay ka kaa ay ibarey kambe ra. Daahir, ni g'ay beerandi borey kaŋ tun ay se yaŋ boŋ. Ni g'ay soolam ka kaa toonyantey kambe ra.

⁵⁰He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.

⁵⁰ Ya Rabbi, woodin se no ay ga saabu ni se dumi cindey game ra. Ay ma sifayaŋ baytu te ni maa gaa.

⁵¹ A ga faaba beeriyaŋ no bonkoono kaŋ a daŋ din se, A ga baakasinay suuji cabe mo nga wane suubananta se, Kaŋ ga ti Dawda nda nga banda se hal abada.
