Psalms 141

1 Lord, I cry to you: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to you.

MAIN leowa, i kin likwir won komui, kom kotin madan don ia; kom kotin ereki nil ai, ni ai pan likwir won komui.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Kom kotin kajampwaleki ai kapakap dueta mairon ijij; o pokadan pa i kat dueta mairon eu ni jautik.

3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Main Ieowa, kom kotin jinjile au ai, o pera kil en au.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

O der kotin kainon on me jued kot monion i, pwe i ender ian me doo jan Kol, akan wiada me jued, o i ender ian ir kankan, me re kin iauki.

5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Me pun amen en kame ia ni a kadek, o kapun ia, pwe iei me pan mau on ia dueta le on mon ai, mepukat i jota pan kan, o i kin kapakap anjau karoj, pwe ren der wiai on ia me jued.

6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

Kalua parail en pijikendi jan pon paip; irail ap pan duki on ai padak o aja, me ir me mau.

7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth. (Sheol h7585)

Duen amen pan wera pajan jap, iduen ti’t akan, melokidokila ni kailan wajan mela. (Sheol h7585)

8 But my eyes are to you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

Ari jo, maj ai kin ariri komui, Main ai Kot, i liki komui, kom der kotin kajapokela maur i.

9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Pera wei jan ia injar, me re kaonop on ia, o jon en men kol ia di ren me morjued akan.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I with escape.

Me doo jan Kot akan en pein lodi on arail injar, a nai en dauli.
