1 Lamo mar ngʼat mawinjo marach kendo machiwo ywakne e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Winj lamona, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; yie irwak lamona ma akwayigo kony.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh. Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
9 Nimar achamo buch kendo kaka chiemba kendo ariwo mathna gi pi wangʼa,
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
10 nikech mirimbi maduongʼ, nimar isekawa mi iwita gichien.

11 Ndalona chalo gi tipo modhiambo; aner adwaro two ka lum.
My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
12 In to ibet e kom lochni nyaka chiengʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; humbi osiko e tienge duto.
But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
13 Ibiro aa malo mi ikech Sayun, nimar sa osechopo monego ongʼwonee; sa mochanne osechopo.

19 “Jehova Nyasaye nongʼiyo piny gie kare maler man malo, nongʼiyo piny gie polo,
for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth,
20 mondo owinj ywak joma otwe kendo ogony joma ongʼadnegi buch tho.”

They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
28 Nyithind jotichni biro dak buti machiegni; nyikwagi nodhi maber e nyimi.”
The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
