Psalms 141

1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.

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

2 My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.

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

3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.

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

4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.

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 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.

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 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

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

7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)

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

8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.

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

9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of 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 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!

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