¹A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

¹Rabbiyow, bal xusuuso Daa'uud Dhibaatooyinkiisii oo dhan,

²Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

²Iyo siduu Rabbiga ugu dhaartay, Oo nidar ugu galay Ilaaha Xoogga leh oo Yacquub, isagoo leh,

³`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

³Hubaal anigu geli maayo teendhada gurigayga, Sariirtaydana fuuli maayo,

⁴If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,

⁴Indhahayga seexasho isugu qaban maayo, Il iyo baalna isu keeni maayo,

⁵Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

⁵Ilaa aan meel u helo Rabbiga, Oo aan taambuug u helo Kan Xoogga leh oo Yacquub.

⁶`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

⁶Bal eeg, annagu waxaan ku maqalnay Efraataah, Oo waxaan ka helnay berrinkii duurka.

⁷We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

⁷Waxaan geli doonnaa taambuugyadiisa, Oo waxaan ku sujuudi doonnaa meeshuu cagaha saarto.

⁸Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

⁸Rabbiyow, sara joogso, oo meeshaada nasashada gal, Adiga iyo sanduuqa xooggaaguba.

⁹Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

⁹Wadaaddadaadu xaqnimo ha huwadeen, Quduusiintaaduna farxad ha la qayliyeen.

¹⁰For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

¹⁰Addoonkaagii Daa'uud daraaddiis Ha sii jeedin kaaga subkan wejigiisa.

¹¹Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

¹¹Rabbigu run buu Daa'uud ugu dhaartay, Oo dhaartiisiina ka soo noqon maayo, Midhaha jidhkaaga midkood ayaan carshigaaga ku fadhiisin doonaa.

¹²If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

¹²Carruurtaadu hadday xajiyaan axdigayga Iyo markhaatifurkayga aan iyaga bari doono, De markaas carruurtooduna weligood bay ku fadhiisan doonaan carshigaaga.

¹³For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,

¹³Waayo, Rabbigu wuu doortay Siyoon, Oo wuxuu u jeclaystay inuu rugtiisii ka dhigto.

¹⁴This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

¹⁴Halkanu waa meeshaydii nasashada weligeedba, Halkanaan degganaan doonaa, waayo, waan jeclaystay.

¹⁵Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,

¹⁵Waxaan iyada aad iyo aad ugu barakayn doonaa quud, Oo masaakiinteeda waxaan ka dhergin doonaa cunto.

¹⁶And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

¹⁶Wadaaddadeedana waxaan huwin doonaa badbaado, Quduusiinteeduna aad bay ula qaylin doonaan farxad.

¹⁷There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

¹⁷Halkaas waxaan ka dhigi doonaa in gees Daa'uud u soo baxo, Waxaan laambad u diyaariyey kii aan subkaday.Cadaawayaashiisa waxaan huwin doonaa ceeb, Laakiinse taajkiisu madaxiisuu ku waari doonaa.

¹⁸His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!

¹⁸Cadaawayaashiisa waxaan huwin doonaa ceeb, Laakiinse taajkiisu madaxiisuu ku waari doonaa.
