¹To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

¹Anigu Rabbigaan isku halleeyaa, Haddaba idinku sidee baad naftayda ugu tidhaahdaan, Sida shimbir oo kale buurtiinnii ku carara?

²For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

²Waayo, bal eega, kuwa sharka lahu waxay xoodaan qaansada, Fallaadhoodana waxay ku diyaariyaan xadhigga, Inay kan qalbiga ka qumman goor gudcur ah ku ganaan.

³When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?

³Haddii aasaaska la dumiyo, Kan xaqa ahu bal muxuu samayn karaa?

⁴`Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.

⁴Rabbigu wuxuu ku jiraa macbudkiisa quduuska ah, Rabbiga carshigiisu wuxuu yaal samada, Indhihiisu way eegaan, oo indhihiisa daboolkooduna way imtixaamaan binu-aadmiga.

⁵Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

⁵Rabbigu waa tijaabiyaa kii xaq ah, Laakiinse kii shar leh iyo kii dulmi jecelba naftiisu way neceb tahay.

⁶He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

⁶Kuwa shar leh wuxuu ku soo kor daadin doonaa dabinno, Oo qaybta koobkooduna waxaa weeye dab iyo baaruud iyo dabayl hanfi ah.Waayo, Rabbigu waa xaq, oo isagu xaqnimaduu jecel yahay, Kuwa qummanuna wejigiisay arki doonaan.

⁷For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!`

⁷Waayo, Rabbigu waa xaq, oo isagu xaqnimaduu jecel yahay, Kuwa qummanuna wejigiisay arki doonaan.
