“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm of David.” When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: amidst distress thou hast [ever] granted me enlargement; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
2 Yaye, ubiro chayo duongʼ ka ukuodo wiya nyaka karangʼo? Ubiro hero gik manono kendo luwo nyiseche manono nyaka karangʼo? (Sela)
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek for lies? (Selah)
3 Ngʼeuru ni Jehova Nyasaye oseyiera mondo abed mare owuon; kendo Jehova Nyasaye winja, ka aluonge.
But know that the Lord hath set apart the pious for himself: the Lord will hear when I call on him.
4 Ka iu owangʼ to kik utim richo; seche ma uyweyo mos e kitandau, to nonuru chunyu ka ulingʼ mos, keturu chunyu mos ka unindo e kitandau. (Sela)
Tremble, and sin not: commune with your heart upon your bed, and be still (Selah)
5 Chiwuru misengini mowinjore kendo genuru kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 Ji mangʼeny penjo niya, “En ngʼa manyalo timonwa gimoro maber?” Mad ler moa e lela wangʼi rieny kuomwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
Many say, “Who will show us happiness? Let shine brightly over us the light of thy countenance, O Lord.”
7 Isepongʼo chunya gi mor maduongʼ moloyo mor ma gin-go e kinde ma gin-gi cham kod divai mangʼeny.
[But] thou hast placed more joy in my heart than at the time when their corn and their wine were increased.
8 Abiro riera piny mi anind gi kwe, nikech in kendi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in ema imiyo adak gi kwe.
In peace, altogether, will I lay me down and sleep; for thou, Lord, alone, causest me to dwell in safety.
