¹A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.`

¹Waan farxay markay igu yidhaahdeen, Ina keena, aan guriga Rabbiga tagnee.

²Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

²Yeruusaalemay, cagahayagu Waxay taagan yihiin irdahaaga gudahooda,

³Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

³Yeruusaalem waxaa loo dhisay Sida magaalo isku wada dheggan,

⁴For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

⁴Halkaasay qabiilooyinka, oo ah qabiilooyinka Rabbigu kor ugu baxaan Inay Israa'iil u marag furaan, Iyo inay magaca Rabbiga ku mahad naqaan.

⁵For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

⁵Waayo, waxaa yaalla carshiyo garsoorid loo dhigay, Waana carshiyadii reerka Daa'uud.

⁶Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

⁶Yeruusaalem nabad ugu duceeya. Kuwa ku jecelu way barwaaqoobi doonaan.

⁷Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

⁷Nabadu ha ku jirto derbiyadaada gudahooda, Barwaaqona ha ku jirto daarahaaga dhaadheer.

⁸For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace [be] in thee.`

⁸Walaalahay iyo rafiiqyadayda daraaddood Ayaan hadda waxaan odhanayaa, Nabadu gudahaaga ha ku jirto.Rabbiga Ilaahayaga gurigiisa daraaddiis Ayaan wanaaggaaga u doondooni doonaa.

⁹For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

⁹Rabbiga Ilaahayaga gurigiisa daraaddiis Ayaan wanaaggaaga u doondooni doonaa.
