| 1 |
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
|
ኀይልየ ፡ ወጸወንየ ፡ ወመድኀኒየ ።
|
2 |
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
|
አምላኪየ ፡ ወረዳኢየ ፡ ወእትዌከል ፡ ቦቱ ፤
|
3 |
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
|
ምእመንየ ፡ ወቀርነ ፡ ሕይወትየ ፡ ወምስካይየ ።
|
4 |
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
|
እንተ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ጸዋዕክዎ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፤ እድኅን ፡ እምፀርየ ።
|
5 |
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
|
ዐመፃ ፡ ሆከኒ ።
|
6 |
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
|
መሣግረ ፡ ሞት ።
|
7 |
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
|
ኀበ ፡ አምላኪየ ።
|
8 |
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
|
ቦአ ፡ ቅድሜሁ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እዘኒሁ ።
|
9 |
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
|
እስመ ፡ ተምዖሙ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ።
|
10 |
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
|
አፍሓም ፡ እምኔሁ ።
|
11 |
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
|
ታሕተ ፡ እገሪሁ ።
|
12 |
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
|
በክነፈ ፡ ነፋስ ።
|
13 |
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
|
ማያት ፡ በውስተ ፡ ደመናት ።
|
14 |
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
|
ወአፍሓመ ፡ እሳት ።
|
15 |
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
