1 Lamo mar Musa ngʼat Nyasaye. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isebedo kar dak marwa nyaka nene e tienge duto.
Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].

Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
3 Idwoko dhano e lowo, kiwacho niya, “Doguru e lowo un koth dhano.”
[When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
4 Nimar higni alufu achiel e nyimi chalo gi odiechiengʼ manyoro mosekalo, kata gi sa mar otieno.
When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
5 Iywoyo dhano ilalgo nono ka nindo mar tho terogi; gichalo gi lum mangʼich mar okinyi,
You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.

In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
7 Mirimbi tiekowa kendo kecho mikechogo kodwa bwogowa.
[Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
8 Iseketo richowa e nyimi, ee, richowa ma watimo lingʼ-lingʼ ineno seche duto.
[It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
9 Ndalowa kadho piyo nikech mirimbi; hikwa rumo piyo gi chir.
Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
10 Ndalowa en piero abiriyo kata piero aboro, ka ringrewa otegno; to kata kamano ndalogo duto opongʼ gi chandruok kod kuyo, nimar gikalo piyo, kendo gilal nono.
People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
11 En ngʼa mongʼeyo teko mar mirimbi? Nimar gero mari nigi teko machalo gi teko ma luori kelo.
No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
