¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

¹Rabbiyow, ilaa goormaad i illoobaysaa? Ma weligaa baa? Oo ilaa goormaad wejigaaga iga qarinaysaa?

²Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow inn my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

²Ilaa goormaan naftayda la tashanayaa, Anigoo maalinta oo dhan calool xun? Ilaa goormuu cadowgaygu iga sarraynayaa?

³Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

³Rabbiyow Ilaahayow, waxaas u fiirso, oo ii jawaab, Indhahayga iftiimi, yaanan hurdadii geerida seexanine,

⁴Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,` Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

⁴Waaba intaasoo cadowgaygu yidhaahdaa, Anigu isagaan ka adkaaday, Oo ay cadaawayaashaydu farxaan markii lay dhaqaajiyo.

⁵And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

⁵Laakiinse anigu waxaan isku halleeyey naxariistaada, Oo qalbigayguna wuxuu ku rayrayn doonaa badbaadintaada.Rabbigaan u gabyi doonaa, Maxaa yeelay, wax badan oo wanaagsan buu ii sameeyey.

⁶I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
