Trusting God in Times of Trouble
1 Save me, God, by your power
and prove that I am right.
2 Listen to my prayer
and hear what I say.
3 Cruel strangers have attacked
and want me dead.
Not one of them cares
about you.
4 You will help me, Lord God,
and keep me from falling;
5 you will punish my enemies
for their evil deeds.
Be my faithful friend
and destroy them.
6 I will bring a gift
and offer a sacrifice
to you, Lord.
I will praise your name
because you are good.
7 You have rescued me
from all my troubles,
and my own eyes have seen
my enemies fall.
Mätu 'Digagaro ni Kyila'baazii ri
1 Mipa ma mbara miro si, Äye Lu;
nyaka'da ma taenjiako mbara miro si!
2 Nyeri mätu maro, Äye Lu;
nyeri ata maro!
3 Lidri driuŋgyiekye ŋgayite mädri;
lidri siombaekye leyi ma ufune,
anya se tiyi ta Lu ro ko ono.
4 Oko Lu ni opa'ba maro.
Opi orivoya gaga'ba adri maro ro.
5 Nda logona votaro 'da kyila'baazii maro ri takozi si;
Nda tufuna ànya 'da tana nda orivoya 'diri.
6 Malona tori ndi miri ŋgapäṛi dritai ro ro;
mozona aro'boya 'da miri, Äye OPI
tana mi orivoya kado.
7 Tana mipa ma te ni rriti cini yasi,
ago mandre ape kyila'baazii maro te ṛe.
