< Psalm 7 >

1 [Psalm lal David, su el Onkakin nu sin LEUM GOD, ke sripal Cush, sie Mwet Benjamin] O LEUM GOD, God luk, nga tuku nu yurum tuh kom in karinginyu; Langoeyula ac moliyula lukelos nukewa su ukweyu.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Kom fin tia, elos ac tulakinyula ac sreyuwi Oana soko lion sulallal, Yen wangin mwet ac fah ku in moliyula.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LEUM GOD luk, fin pwaye lah nga oru kutena sin ma inge: Pouk fin oru ma tafongla,
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
4 Ku nga fin orala ma koluk nu sin mwet kawuk luk, Ku kunausla mwet lokoalok luk ke wangin sripa,
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
5 Na lela mwet lokoalok luk in ukweyu ac sruokyuwi. Lela elos in sisyuwi nu infohk uh ac uniyuwi, Ac filiyuwi ngan oan misa infohk uh.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 O LEUM GOD, tuyak ke kasrkusrak lom, Ac lain folo lun mwet lokoalok luk! Mukuiyak ac kasreyu! Kom lungsum nununku suwohs,
Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Ke ma inge, orani mwet nukewa nu yurum, Tuh kom in nununkalos lucng me.
So shall the congregation of the people surround thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Kom pa nununku mwet nukewa. O LEUM GOD, wiyu lac ke kom nununkeyu, Mweyen kom etu lah wangin mwetik.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
9 Kom sie God suwoswos Ac kom nununku nunak lasr ac ma lungse lasr. Kutongya orekma lun mwet koluk Ac sang ma lacne nu sin mwet wo.
O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 God El mwe loeyuk luk. El molelos su aksol.
My defence is from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 God El oru nununku suwoswos Ac El kwase mwet koluk.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Elos fin tia auliyak, Na God El ac fah tamla cutlass natul, Ac akoela mwe pisr natul.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 El srukak mwe mweun natul Ac ngasla mwe pisr firir natul.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Liye ke mwet koluk elos lungse sramtauk pwapa koluk; Elos purakak lokoalok ac kiapu mwet.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Tusruktu mwe kwasrip elos akoo nu sin mwet saya, Elos sifacna sremla kac.
He made a pit, and dug it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Ke ma inge elos akkeokyeyuk ke ma koluk lalos sifacna, Ac akngalyeyuk ke sulallal lalos.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon the crown of his head.
17 Nga sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD ke nununku suwohs lal; Nga on ac kaksakin LEUM GOD Fulatlana.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
