(A song for worship.)
The Lord Will Protect His People
1 I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?
2 It will come from the Lord,
who created heaven and earth.
3 The Lord is your protector,
and he won't go to sleep
or let you stumble.
4 The protector of Israel
doesn't doze
or ever get drowsy.
5 The Lord is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.
6 You won't be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moon at night.
7 The Lord will protect you
and keep you safe
from all dangers.
8 The Lord will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.
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,
meŋ ye saŋo niŋ bankoo daa.
3 A te soŋ na i siŋo ye bo i koto,
i tankandilaa buka jinkoo.
4 Banisirayilankoolu tankandilaa buka jinkoo muumee,
sako a si siinoo.
5 Yaawe le mu i tankandilaa ti.
Ate le mu i ye dubeŋo ti,
meŋ ka tara i fee.
6 Luŋ te soto la, tiloo si i mantoora meŋ na,
sako karoo, suutoo la.
7 Yaawe be i tankandi la kuu jawoo bee ma le,
a be i niyo kanta la le.
8 A be i tankandi la le,

ka bo saayiŋ, ka taa fo abadaa.
