1Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
1 Doonkoy jine bora se. I m'a doon da seese karyaŋ. Dawda wane no.
1For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
2Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
2 Ya Rabbi, ma hanga jeeri ay sanno se, Ma laakal d'ay miila-miiley.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
3Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
3 Ya ay Koyo, ay Irikoyo, m'ay hẽeno jinde hangan, Zama ni gaa no ay ga adduwa te.
3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
4 Ya Rabbi, susubay ni ga maa ay jinde. Susubay ay g'ay miila ye ni do haray d'ay adduwa, Ay ga batu mo.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
5 Zama nin wo manti Irikoy kaŋ ga maa laala kaani no, Laala si goro ni banda.
5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
6 Foomakoy mo si du ka kay ni jine. Goy laalo teekoy kulu, ni wang'ey.
6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
7 Ni ga tangari ciikoy halaci. Boro kaŋ ga kuri mun, a ga gulinci mo, Rabbi g'a fanta.
7But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
8 Amma day ay wo, ni baakasinay suuji yulwanta ra no ay ga furo ni windo ra. Ni humburkuma ra mo no ay ga sududu, Ay moyduma ga guna ni fu hananta do haray.
8Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
9 Ya Rabbi, ma jina candi ay se ni adilitaray ra ay ibarey sabbay se. Ma ni fonda kayandi ay jine zar!
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
10Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
10 Zama cimi si i meyey ra, halaciyaŋ no i biney ra. I karrey ya saaray feeranteyaŋ no, I deenayzey no i ga me-kaanay te d'a.
10Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
11But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
11 Ya Irikoy, m'i taaley dake i boŋ. I bumbey saawarey m'i zeeri. M'i furu i taali boobey ra, zama i murte ni gaa.
11But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
12 Amma borey kaŋ yaŋ ga de ni gaa kulu ma te bine kaani. I ma jinde tunandi farhã sabbay se duumi, Zama se ni ga te i se kosaray. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ba ni maa mo ma farhã gumo ni do.
12For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
13 Zama ni wo, ya Rabbi, ni ga adilante* albarkandi. Ni g'a windi nda gomni mo sanda koray cine.
