¹A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

¹Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,

²Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

²Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

³Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

³Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,

⁴Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁴Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,

⁵Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

⁵Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

⁶Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

⁶Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.

⁷Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁷Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.

⁸Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

⁸Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
