A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Ka taamaayaa Alla la tankandiroo la
Moolu ka ñiŋ suukuwo le laa, niŋ ì be Alla Batudulaa Buŋo* waliŋ na.
1 Ŋa n ñaalu wulindi ka konkoolu juubee.
Maakoyiroo ka bo n ye naŋ mintoo le?
2 Maakoyiroo ka bo n ye naŋ Yaawe* le bulu,

3 A te soŋ na i siŋo ye bo i koto,

4 Banisirayilankoolu tankandilaa buka jinkoo muumee,

5 Yaawe le mu i tankandilaa ti.
Ate le mu i ye dubeŋo ti,

6 Luŋ te soto la, tiloo si i mantoora meŋ na,

7 Yaawe be i tankandi la kuu jawoo bee ma le,

8 A be i tankandi la le,

ka bo saayiŋ, ka taa fo abadaa.
