Psalm 141
1 [Psalm lal David] Nga pang nu sum, LEUM GOD. Kasreyu inge! Lipsreyu ke nga pang nu sum.
A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2 Eis pre luk in oana mwe kisa keng, Ac ke nga sralak pouk, eis in oana mwe kisa in eku.
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 LEUM GOD, filiya sie mwe karinginyen oalik, Ac mwe taran srungul lun ngoasrok.
Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4 Ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia lungse oru ma koluk, Ac in tia wi mwet koluk ke ma elos oru. Lela nga in tiana ipeis ke kufwa lalos.
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Sie mwet wo el ku in kaiyu ac aksuwosyeyu ke kulang lal, Tusruktu nga fah tia lela mwet koluk in akfulatyeyu, Mweyen nga pre in lain orekma koluk lalos pacl e nukewa.
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6 Ke mwet kol lalos sisyukla liki fulu in eot uh, Na mwet uh ac fah etu lah kas luk pwaye.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
7 Oana sak su lipikyuki nu ke ip srisrik, Ouinge sri kaclos ac fah oan oaclik sisken kulyuk uh. (Sheol h7585)
“As when one ploughs and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
8 Tusruktu nga nuna lulalfongi kom, LEUM GOD Kulana. Nga suk molela lom; Nikmet lela nga in misa!
For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
9 Moliyula liki mwe kwasrip su elos orala in sruokyu, Ac liki sruhf lun mwet orekma koluk.
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Lela tuh mwet koluk in putatyang nu in sruhf lalos sifacna A nga fahla na siska, ac tia sruoh.
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.
