¹Ilaahow, tukashadayda dhegta u dhig, Oo baryootankaygana ha iska qarin.

¹To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.

²I maqal, oo ii jawaab, Waxaan la nasan waayaa calaacalkayga, waanan la taahaa,

²Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise,

³Sababtuna waxaa weeye codka cadowga daraaddiis, Iyo kan sharka leh cadaadintiisa daraaddeed, Waayo, iyagu xumaan bay igu tuuraan, Maxaa yeelay, cadho ayay igu silciyaan.

³Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.

⁴Wadnuhu aad buu ii xanuunayaa, Oo waxaa igu dhacday cabsida dhimashada.

⁴My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.

⁵Baqdin iyo gariir ayaa igu soo degay, Oo naxdin baa i dabooshay.

⁵Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.

⁶Oo anna waxaan is-idhi, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan baalal yeesho sida qoolley oo kale! Markaasaan iska duuli lahaa oo nasan lahaa.

⁶And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

⁷Bal eeg, markaasaan iska warwareegi lahaa meel fog, Oo waxaan degganaan lahaa cidlada. (Selaah)

⁷Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah.

⁸Waxaan gabbaad kaga carari lahaa Dabaysha hufada ah iyo duufaanka.

⁸I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.

⁹Sayidow, iyaga baabbi'i, oo afafkoodana kala duw Waayo, waxaan magaalada ku arkay dulmi iyo dirir.

⁹Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

¹⁰Maalin iyo habeenba derbiyadeeday ku dul wareegaan, Oo weliba waxaa ku dhex jira xumaan iyo belaayo.

¹⁰By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,

¹¹Dhexdeedana waxaa ku jira shar, Dulmi iyo khiyaanona kama tagaan jidadkeeda.

¹¹Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.

¹²Waayo, kii i caayay cadaawe ma ahayn, Maxaa yeelay, waan u adkaysan kari lahaa, Mana ahayn kii i necbaa oo iska kay weyneeyey, Maxaa yeelay, waan ka dhuuman lahaa isaga,

¹²For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.

¹³Laakiinse wuxuu ahaa adiga oo ah nin ila mid ah, Iyo jaalkay iyo saaxiibkay.

¹³But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

¹⁴Si wanaagsan baynu u wada sheekaysan jirnay, Oo waxaynu ku dhex socon jirnay guriga Ilaah, innagoo guuto badan la soconna.

¹⁴When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.

¹⁵Dhimasho ha ku soo kediso iyaga, Oo iyagoo noolnool She'ool ha ku dhaceen, Waayo, xumaan baa ku jirta hoygooda iyo dhexdooda.

¹⁵Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol — alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁶Laakiinse anigu Ilaah baan baryi doonaa, Oo Rabbigaa i badbaadin doona.

¹⁶I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.

¹⁷Fiidka, iyo subaxda, iyo duhurkaba, anigu waan cataabi doonaa, oo waan taahi doonaa, Oo isna codkayguu maqli doonaa.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,

¹⁸Naftayda nabadduu kaga samatabbixiyey dagaalkii iga geesta ahaa, Waayo, kuwii ila diriray way badnaayeen.

¹⁸He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

¹⁹Ilaah oo ah kan weligiis waara, Wuu maqli doonaa oo u jawaabi doonaa iyaga, Kuwaas oo aan beddelmin, (Selaah) Oo aan Ilaah ka cabsan.

¹⁹God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

²⁰Isagu wuxuu u gacan qaaday kii isaga heshiiska la ahaa, Oo axdigiisiina wuu buriyey.

²⁰He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.

²¹Afkiisu wuxuu u nuglaa sidii subag oo kale, Laakiinse qalbigiisu wuxuu ahaa dagaal, Erayadiisu saliid way ka jilicsanaayeen, Laakiinse waxay ahaayeen seefo galkii laga siibay.

²¹Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].

²²Culaabtaada Rabbiga saar, oo isna wuu ku xanaanayn doonaa, Waayo, isagu kan xaqa ah marnaba u dayn maayo in la dhaqaajiyo.Laakiinse, Ilaahow, iyaga waxaad ku dhaadhicin doontaa yaamayska halligaadda, Dhiigyocabyada iyo dadka khaa'innada ahu cimrigooda nus ma kadban doonaan, Laakiinse anigu waan isku kaa hallayn doonaa.

²²Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.

²³Laakiinse, Ilaahow, iyaga waxaad ku dhaadhicin doontaa yaamayska halligaadda, Dhiigyocabyada iyo dadka khaa'innada ahu cimrigooda nus ma kadban doonaan, Laakiinse anigu waan isku kaa hallayn doonaa.

²³And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I — I do trust in Thee!
