I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
|
እኪተ ፡ ያድኅኖ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ።
|
2 |
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
|
ውስተ ፡ እደ ፡ ጸላኢሁ ።
|
3 |
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
|
ሎቱ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ምስካቤሁ ፡ እምደዌሁ ።
|
4 |
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
|
ላቲ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ እስመ ፡ አበስኩ ፡ ለከ ።
|
5 |
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
|
ይመውት ፡ ወይሰዐር ፡ ስሙ ።
|
6 |
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
|
አስተጋብአ ፡ ኃጢአተ ፡ ላዕሌሁ ፤
|
7 |
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
|
ይወፅእ ፡ አፍአ ፡ ወይትናገር ።
|
8 |
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
|
እኩየ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፤
|
9 |
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
|
ኢይነቅህኑ ፡ እንከ ።
|
10 |
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
|
እክልየ ፤ አንሥአ ፡ ሰኰናሁ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።
|
11 |
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
|
አንተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ተሣሀለኒ ፡ ወአንሥአኒ ፡ እፍድዮሙ ።
|
12 |
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
|
ጸላእትየ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።
|
13 |
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
|
ቅድሜከ ፡ ለዓለም ።
|
14 |
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
|
ወእስከ ፡ ለዓለም ፤ ለይኩን ፡ ለይኩን ።
