¹Waxaan idhi, Jidadkaygaan iska jiri doonaa, Si aanan carrabkayga ugu dembaabin, Oo afkayga waxaan ku qaban doonaa xakame inta kii shar lahu i hor joogo.

¹To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.`

²Waan carrab beelay oo shib baan iska idhi, oo waan ka aamusay xataa wixii wanaagsanaa, Tiiraanyadaydiina waa kacday.

²I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

³Qalbigaygu uurkayguu ku kululaaday, Oo intii aan fikirayay ayaa dabkii shidmay, Markaasaan carrabkaygii ku hadlay, oo idhi,

³Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.

⁴Rabbiyow, i ogaysii ugu dambaystayda Iyo cimrigayga dhererkiisu intuu yahay, Oo i ogaysii inta tabardarradaydu tahay.

⁴`Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days — what it [is],` I know how frail I [am].

⁵Bal eeg, maalmahayga waxaad ka dhigtay calaacal ballaadhkeed Oo cimrigayguna hortaada waxba kuma aha, Hubaal nin kastaba marka xaalkiisu ugu wanaagsan yahay dhammaantiis waa bilaash. (Selaah)

⁵Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. Selah.

⁶Hubaal nin kastaaba wuxuu ku socdaa hawo been ah, Hubaal waxay ku rabshaysan yihiin hawo been ah, Isagu maal buu tuulaa, mana uu yaqaan kii urursan doona.

⁶Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

⁷Haddaba Sayidow, bal maxaan sugaa? Waayo, rajadaydu adigay kugu xidhan tahay.

⁷And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope — it [is] of Thee.

⁸Xadgudubyadayda oo dhan iga samatabbixi, Oo ha iga dhigin mid nacasyadu caayaan.

⁸From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

⁹Anigu waan carrab la'aa, oo afkaygana ma aan kala qaadin, Maxaa yeelay, sidaasaad yeeshay.

⁹I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou — Thou hast done [it].

¹⁰Haddaba belaayadaada iga durki, Maxaa yeelay, waxaa i baabbi'iyey weerarka gacantaada.

¹⁰Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.

¹¹Markaad dadka canaanta ku edbisid xumaanta daraaddeed, Waxaad quruxdiisa ka dhigtaa inay u baabba'do sidii balanbaallis oo kale, Hubaal nin kastaaba waa bilaash. (Selaah)

¹¹With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. Selah.

¹²Rabbiyow, baryadayda maqal, oo qayladaydana dhegta u dhig, Oo ilmadaydana ha iskaga aamusin, Waayo, waxaan ahay qariib kula jooga Oo masaafir ah, sidii awowayaashay oo dhammu ay ahaan jireen.Ii tudh, itaalkaygu mar ha igu soo noqdee, Intaanan meesha tegin oo aanan mar dambe ka soo noqonayn.

¹²Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

¹³Ii tudh, itaalkaygu mar ha igu soo noqdee, Intaanan meesha tegin oo aanan mar dambe ka soo noqonayn.

¹³Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
