Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Akuru mopiyo e onera man mabor.” Miktam mar Daudi. Kane jo-Filistia osemake Gath. Kecha, yaye Nyasacha, nikech wasika dwaro monja; odiechiengʼ duto gidiya ma ok aywe.

2 My enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they are] many that fight against me, O thou Most High.

Joketh nyinga lawa odiechiengʼ duto; ji mangʼeny monja ka sunga omakogi.

3 In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Ka luoro omaka to abiro geno kuomi.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

Kuom Nyasaye ma apako wachne, in Nyasaye ema aketo genona kuomi omiyo ok abi bedo maluor. Dhano adhana to nyalo timona angʼo?

5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

Odiechiengʼ duto gimino koda wach; kinde duto gichano kaka digihinya.

6 They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

Gikuotho kendo gijimbo wach, ginono okangʼ ka okangʼ ma agoyo, ka gidwaro kawo ngimana.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity; in [thy] anger cast down the people, O God.

Kik iyie gitony kata matin nikech richo mag-gi, dwok ogendini piny, yaye Nyasaye, gi mirimbi;

8 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

Ndik ywak ma aywakgo kwan pi wangʼa machwer e kitapi, donge iketogi e kitabu mari?

9 When I cry [to thee], then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

Eka wasika biro gomo dok ka aluongo kony moa kuomi. Mano ema abiro ngʼeyogo ni Nyasaye en jakora.

10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

Kuom Nyasaye ma apako wachne, in Jehova Nyasaye ema apako wachne,

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.

kendo Nyasaye ema aketo genona kuome; omiyo ok abi bedo maluor. Dhano adhana to nyalo timona angʼo?

12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee.

Asetimo kodi singruok, yaye Nyasaye; abiro chiwoni chiwo maga mag erokamano.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Nikech iseresa e tho kendo isegengʼo tienda mi ok ochwanyore, mondo mi awuothi e nyim Nyasaye ma en e ler makelo ngima.
