¹`The Erring One,` by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

¹Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, adigaan isku kaa halleeyaa, Haddaba iga badbaadi kuwa i eryanaya oo dhan, oo iga samatabbixi,

²Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

²Waaba intaasoo ay naftayda sida libaax oo kale u kala dildillaaciyaane, Oo ay i kala jeexjeexaan intii aanay jirin cid iga samatabbixisaa.

³O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

³Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, haddii aan waxan sameeyey, Haddii xumaanu gacmahayga ku jirto,

⁴If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

⁴Haddii aan shar ugu abaal guday mid ila nabad ah, (Haah, oo waxaan samatabbixiyey kii sababla'aan cadowga iigu ahaa,)

⁵An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

⁵De markaas cadowgu naftayda ha eryado, oo ha qabsado, Oo isagu ha igu tunto, Oo sharaftaydana ciidda ha ku rido. (Selaah)

⁶Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

⁶Rabbiyow, cadhadaada la kac, Oo ku kac dhirifka cadaawayaashayda, Aniga daraadday u sara joogso, waayo, waxaad amartay xukun.

⁷And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

⁷Oo dadyowga ururradoodu ha ku hareereeyeen, Oo adna iyaga xagga sare uga noqo.

⁸Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

⁸Rabbigu dadyowga buu u garsooraa, Rabbiyow, ii xukun siday xaqnimadaydu tahay, iyo siday daacadnimadayda igu jirtaa tahay.

⁹Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

⁹Kuwa sharka leh sharkoodu ha dhammaado, laakiinse xoogee kuwa xaqa ah, Waayo, Ilaaha xaqa ahu wuxuu imtixaamaa qalbiga iyo uurka.

¹⁰My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

¹⁰Gaashaankaygu wuxuu la jiraa Ilaaha Badbaadiya kuwa qalbigoodu qumman yahay.

¹¹God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

¹¹Ilaah waa xaakin xaq ah, Oo waa Ilaah maalin kasta dhirifsan.

¹²If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,

¹²Haddii aan laga noqon, isagu seeftiisuu afaysan doonaa, Qaansadiisana wuu xootay, oo wuu diyaarsaday.

¹³Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

¹³Oo weliba wuxuu diyaarsaday alaabtii dhimashada, Oo fallaadhihiisana wuxuu ka dhigtaa kuwo ololaya.

¹⁴Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

¹⁴Bal eega, ninku wuxuu la dhibtoodaa xumaan, Oo wuxuu wallacay belaayo, oo wuxuu dhalay been.

¹⁵A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

¹⁵Booraan buu sameeyey, oo uu qoday, Oo wuxuu ku dhacay bohoshii uu isagu sameeyey.

¹⁶Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

¹⁶Belaayadiisu waxay dib ugu noqonaysaa madaxiisa, Oo dulmigiisuna dhaladiisuu ku soo degayaa.Rabbiga waan ugu mahad naqayaa sida ay xaqnimadiisu tahay, Oo waxaan u ammaanayaa magaca Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ugu sarreeya.

¹⁷I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!

¹⁷Rabbiga waan ugu mahad naqayaa sida ay xaqnimadiisu tahay, Oo waxaan u ammaanayaa magaca Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ugu sarreeya.
