Psalms 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
1MAI N kom kotin ereki me pu n o kotin ma n i ai likwir o kotin kupura ai kapakap, me jota kin kowei ja n nan kil en au likam eu.
2Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
2Ai pu n en pwili ja n re omui, o kom kotin majan do n me pu n .
3Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
3Kom kotin kajaui mo n io n I ni po n , o komui kotin jojo n ia, ap jota me kom kotin diar. I inaukidi, me i jota pan japu n ni ai lokaia.
4As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
4I kin rukila pan majan en jila n omui ja n mon tiak en aramaj o al en men kamela.
5My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
5Ni ai alialu wei i jota muei jan nan lip en aluwilu omui, ai kakawei jota katia ja n .
6As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
6I likwiri o n komui, Mai n . Kot, kom kotin ma n i ia, o kapaike do n ia karo n omui, o kotin ereki ai kapakap.
7Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
7Kom kotin kajaleda omui kala n an kapuriamui, pwe pali maun omui jauaj pan ir, me kin liki komui, o n ir me palian ir.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
8Jinjila ia dueta por en maj eu, o kotin pera kin ia mot en lim omui,
9From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
9Mon me japu n kan, me men kawe ia la, mon ai imwintiti, me kin kapil ia pena.
10Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
10Re kin kapiridi mo n io n arail; o ja n nan au arail re kin lokaia aklapalap.
11At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
11Waja je kin kola ia, re kin kapil kit pena, maj arail kin majamajan, pwen kaje kit di o n nan pwel.
12He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
12Dueta laien amen, me ino n io n ma n a, o dueta laien pul amen, me wonon nan waja rir.
13Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
13Mai n , kom kotida, kaloedi o kanamonokla i; dorela maur i ja n me japu n kan ki omui kodlaj,
14From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
14Ja n ren aramaj akan ki lim omui, Mai n Ieowa, ja n ren aramaj en jappa wet, me pwaij arail ni maur et; kom kotin kadire kila kaped arail omui dipijo kan, me nairail jeri ol me toto, o nairail akan me pan jojoki luan arail kapwa.
15As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
15A i pan ariri jila n omui ni ai pu n , o i pan medikila mom omui ni ai pan pirida.
