| 1 |
Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
|
ኀበ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ሰአልኩ ።
|
2 |
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
|
ቅድሜሁ ፡ ሕማምየ ።
|
3 |
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
|
እግዚኦ ፡ ታአምር ፡ ፍኖትየ ፤
|
4 |
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
|
በዛቲ ፡ ፍኖት ፡ እንተ ፡ ሖርኩ ፡ ኀብኡ ፡ ሊተ ፡ መሥገርተ ።
|
5 |
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
|
ዘያአምረኒ ፤
|
6 |
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
|
ዘይትኃሠሥ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ነፍስየ ።
|
7 |
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
|
መክፈልትየ ፡ በምድረ ፡ ሕያዋን ።
|
8 |
But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
|
ነጽር ፡ ስእለትየ ፡ እስመ ፡ ሐመምኩ ፡ ፈድፋደ ፤
|
9 |
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
|
ይፀንሑ ፡ ጻድቃን ፡ እስከ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ተዐስየኒ ።
