¹Rabbigu waa nuurkayga iyo badbaadadayda, bal yaan ka cabsadaa? Oo Rabbigu waa xoogga noloshayda, bal yaan ka baqaa?

¹By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

²Markii xumaanfalayaashu iigu yimaadeen inay hilibkayga cunaan, Kuwaasoo ah cadaawayaashayda iyo colkayga, way turunturoodeen, wayna dheceen.

²When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

³In kastoo ciidan col ah i ag dego, Qalbigaygu cabsan maayo, In kastoo dagaal igu soo kaco, Xataa markaas waan kalsoonaanayaa.

³Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.

⁴Wax keliya ayaan Rabbiga ka baryay, oo taas aad baan u doonayaa, Waana inaan cimrigayga oo dhan dhex degganaado guriga Rabbiga, Oo aan fiiriyo Rabbiga quruxdiisa, oo aan wax ku baryo macbudkiisa.

⁴One [thing] I asked of Jehovah — it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

⁵Waayo, isagu maalinta dhibta wuxuu igu qarin doonaa teendhadiisa, Oo meesha qarsoon oo taambuuggiisa ayuu igu xasayn doonaa, Kor buu ii qaadi doonaa oo dhagax weyn buu i saari doonaa.

⁵For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

⁶Imminka waxaa madaxayga laga sarraysiin doonaa cadaawayaashayda igu wareegsan, Oo waxaan taambuugga Rabbiga ku dhex bixin doonaa allabari dhawaaq farxadeed leh, Waan gabyi doonaa, haah, ammaan baan Rabbiga ugu gabyi doonaa.

⁶And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies — my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

⁷Rabbiyow, markaan codkayga ku qayliyo, i maqal, Weliba ii naxariiso, oo ii jawaab.

⁷Hear, O Jehovah, my voice — I call, And favour me, and answer me.

⁸Markaad tidhi, Wejigayga doondoona, ayaa qalbigaygu wuxuu kugu yidhi, Rabbiyow, wejigaaga waan doondoonayaa.

⁸To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.`

⁹Ilaaha badbaadadaydow, wejigaaga ha iga qarin, Anoo addoonkaaga ah cadho ha igu eryin, Caawimaad baad ii ahayde, Ha i xoorin, hana i dayrin.

⁹Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

¹⁰Waayo, aabbahay iyo hooyaday way i dayriyeen, Laakiinse Rabbigaa i qaadan doona.

¹⁰When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

¹¹Rabbiyow, cadaawayaashayda daraaddood Jidkaaga i bar, Oo igu hoggaami waddo bannaan.

¹¹Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

¹²Oo gacanta ha ii gelin cadaawayaashayda, Waayo, waxaa igu kacay markhaatiyaal been ah iyo kuwa nacweynaanta ku hadla.

¹²Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

¹³Waan itaal darnaan lahaa haddaanan rumaysnayn Inaan wanaagga Rabbiga ku arkayo dalka kuwa nool.Rabbiga sug, Adkayso, oo qalbigaagu ha dhiirranaado, Haah, Rabbiga sug.

¹³I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

¹⁴Rabbiga sug, Adkayso, oo qalbigaagu ha dhiirranaado, Haah, Rabbiga sug.

¹⁴Look unto Jehovah — be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
