12 Kik ibed mabor koda, yaye Nyasaye; bi piyo mondo ikonya, yaye Nyasacha.
God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Mad joma donjona lal nono ka wigi okuot; mad joma dwaro hinya, obed gi achaya kod wichkuot koni gi koni.
Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?
20 Kata obedo ni isemiyo aneno chandruok mathoth kendo malit, to pod ibiro miyo abed mangima kendo. Ibiro gola e bur matut mi achak abed gi duongʼ.

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
