Zaburi 69
1 Kuom jatend wer e dwol mar “Ondanyo.” Mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Nyasaye, nikech pi oseima nyaka e ngʼuta.
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 Asechako nimo e chwodho matut, kama onge lowo motegno ma ngʼato nyalo chungʼie. Asechopo e chuny pi kama tut, kendo apaka olwora oketa diere.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Koro aseywak mondo okonya mi aol; dwonda rewni. Wengena pek, ka amanyo Nyasacha.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.

Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 Ingʼeyo fupa, yaye Nyasaye; kethona ok opondoni.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].

O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.

9 nikech (hera) matut ma aherogo odi tieka, kendo ayenje mag joma yanyi lwar kuoma.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
