¹In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

¹ Doonkoy jine bora se. Dawda baytu fo no.

²Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

² Ya Rabbi, ni do no ay ga tuguyaŋ do ceeci, Ma si naŋ ya haaw hal abada. M'ay faaba mo ni adilitara ra.

³For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

³ Ma ni hanga jeeri ay se, m'ay faaba nda cahãyaŋ. Ma ciya tondi gaabikooni ay se, wongu fu mo ay faaba se.

⁴Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

⁴ Za kaŋ nin no ga ti ay tondo d'ay wongu fuwo, Kala ni m'ay candi k'ay daŋ fondo ni maa sabbay se.

⁵Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

⁵ Ni g'ay candi ka kaa taaru beero ra, Kaŋ i hirr'ay se tuguyaŋ ra, Zama ni ga ti ay gaabo.

⁶I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.

⁶ Ni kamba ra no ay g'ay biya talfi. Ya Rabbi, ya Irikoy cimikoyo, ni n'ay fansa.

⁷I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

⁷ Ay konna borey kaŋ yaŋ ga gaabu tooru yaamey gaa, Amma ay ga de Rabbi gaa.

⁸You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

⁸ Ay ga farhã ka te bine kaani ni baakasinay suujo ra, Zama ni di ay kankamo, ni g'ay fundo masiibey bay mo.

⁹Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

⁹ Ni mana ay daŋ ay ibara kambe ra, Amma ni n'ay cey sinji nangu tafo ra.

¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

¹⁰ Ya Rabbi, ma gomni goy te ay se, Zama kankami ra no ay go. Ay moy diyaŋo goono ga zabu bine saray sabbay se, Oho, d'ay fundo d'ay gaahamo kulu mo.

¹¹Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

¹¹ Zama ay fundo jirbey go ga kokor da bine saray, Ay jiirey mo da bine jisiyaŋ. Ay gaabo go ga gaze ay laala sabbay se, Ay biriyey mo ban ka te ikaynayaŋ.

¹²I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

¹² Ay ciya taali dakeyaŋ hari ay yanjekaarey kulu se, Oho, sanku fa binde ay gorokasiney se. Ay ya humburandi no ay mo-ka-bayrayey se. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga di ay taray ga zur'ay se.

¹³For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

¹³ I dinya ay gaa sanda buuko kaŋ i si fong'a. Ay ciya sanda gaasu camse cine.

¹⁴But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”

¹⁴ Zama ay maa boro boobo alaasiray sanni. Humburkumay go kuray kulu. I na saawareyaŋ te ay boŋ, I na dabari te mate kaŋ cine no ngey ga te k'ay fundo sambu nd'a.

¹⁵My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

¹⁵ Amma, ya Rabbi, ay wo, ay de ni gaa, Ay ne: «Nin no ga ti ay Irikoyo.»

¹⁶Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

¹⁶ Ay jirbey, ni kambe ra no i go, M'ay faaba ay ibarey kambe ra, D'ay gaaraykoy mo gaa.

¹⁷Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

¹⁷ Ma naŋ ni moyduma ma kaari ni tamo do haray, M'ay faaba mo ni baakasinay suujo ra.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

¹⁸ Ya Rabbi, ma si naŋ ya haaw, zama ay na ni ce. Ma naŋ laalakoyey ma haaw, i ma te siw Alaahara.

¹⁹Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

¹⁹ Meyey kaŋ ga tangari ma dangay, Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga salaŋ adilantey boŋ da mo-koogay, Da boŋbeeray, da donda-caray mo.

²⁰In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

²⁰ Man ni gomno beera misa kaŋ ni jisi ngey kaŋ ga humburu nin yaŋ se? Kaŋ ni goy mo ni gaa de-koy se Adam-izey jine!

²¹Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

²¹ Ni g'i tugu ni do tuguyaŋ nango ra hal i ma wa da borey me-hawyaŋey. Ni g'i jisi tugante bukka ra, Hal ni m'i wa da deeney masiiba.

²²As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

²² I ma Rabbi sifa, zama a na nga baakasinay suujo kaŋ ga dambarandi cabe ay se gallu birnikoyo ra.

²³Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

²³ Ay wo kay, ay cahãyaŋo ra no ay ne: «I n'ay pati ka kaa ni jine.» Kulu nda yaadin ni maa ay adduwey jinde, Waato kaŋ ay na ni ce.

²⁴Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

²⁴ Ya Rabbi wane hanantey kulu, wa ba r'a. Rabbi ga naanaykoyey haggoy. A ga banandi toonante te mo boŋbeeray goy teeko se.

²⁵ Araŋ kulu kaŋ ga Rabbi hangan, wa gaabu. Araŋ biney ma te gaabi.
