< Psalms 57 >
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.
Kuom jatend wer. E dwond “Kik iketh gik moko.” Miktam mar Daudi. Kane oringone Saulo mi opondo e rogo. Kecha, yaye Nyasaye, yie ikecha nikech kuomi ema chunya yudoe kar pondo. Abiro pondo e bwo tipo mar bwombeni nyaka chop apaka mager rum.
2 I will call unto God, the Most High; unto God that performeth [all] for me.
Aywagora ne Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, Nyasaye machopona chenroge ema aywakne.
3 He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.
Ooro wach gie polo kendo oresa, kokwero joma lawa gi tekregi duto; (Sela) Nyasaye oro herane gi adiera mare.
4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
An e dier sibuoche; anindo e dier le mager mangemo, joma lekegi chalo tonge gi aserni, ma lewgi chalo ligangla mabitho.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Nyingi mondo otingʼ malo moyombo polo, yaye Nyasaye; mad duongʼ mari opongʼ piny duto.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. (Selah)
Ne giyaro jogo mondo omak tiendena, kane chuny lit odola. Ne gikunyo bugo e yora, to kata kamano gin giwegi ema giselutore e iye. (Sela)
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.
Chunya otegno, yaye Nyasaye, chunya otegno; abiro paki gi wer kendo abiro loso wer mamit.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Chiew, in chunya! Chiewuru un orutu gi nyatiti! Abiro chiewo kogwen.
9 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
Abiro paki e dier ogendini, yaye Jehova Nyasaye. Abiro werni e dier ogendini.
10 For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Nikech herani maduongʼ chopo nyaka e polo; kendo adiera mari chopo nyaka ewi lwasi.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Nyingi mondo otingʼ malo moyombo polo, yaye Nyasaye; mad duongʼ mari opongʼ piny duto.
