   Look upon me and hear me, O Yahweh my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

   ወአንሰ ፡ በምሕረትከ ፡ ተወከልኩ ፡ ይትፌሥሐኒ ፡ ልብየ ፡ በአድኅኖትከ ፤ እሴብሖ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ዘረድአኒ ፡ ወእዜምር ፡ ለስመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ልዑል ።

   But as for me, I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation; I will praise Yahweh who has helped me, and I will sing to the name of Yahweh the Most High.
