1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Abiro paki gi chunya duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; abiro paki gi wer e nyim nyiseche.

I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to with my whole heart. Before the deities, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you.

2 Abiro kulora piny ka achomo hekalu mari maler kendo abiro pako nyingi, nikech herani kod adierani, nimar isetingʼo nyingi kod Wachni malo moyombo gik moko duto.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your Name for your cheshed ·loving-kindness· and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

3 Kane aluongo to ne idwoka, kendo ne imiyo abedo gi chir kod chuny motegno.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 Mad ruodhi duto mag piny paki, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, e sa ma giwinjo weche mowuok e dhogi.

All the kings of the earth will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, for they have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of your mouth.

5 Mad giwer kuom yore mag Jehova Nyasaye, nimar duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ngʼongo.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Adonai; for great is the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·.

6 Jehova Nyasaye rango joma obolore kata obedo ni en malo to josunga to ongʼeyo kata kapod gin gichien.

For though Adonai is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

7 Kata obedo ni awuotho e dier chandruok, to irito ngimana; irieyo lweti kuom mirimb joma kedo koda, kendo iresa gi lweti ma korachwich.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 Jehova Nyasaye biro chopona chenroge; yaye Jehova Nyasaye, herani osiko nyaka chiengʼ: kik ijwangʼ tije ma iloso gi lweti.

Adonai will fulfill that which concerns me; your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
