¹Ilaahow, soo dhaqso oo i samatabbixi, Rabbiyow, soo dhaqso oo i caawi.

¹To the Overseer, by David. — `To cause to remember.` O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

²Kuwa doondoonaya inay naftayda iga qaadaan Ha ceeboobeen oo ha wareereen, Oo kuwa waxyeelladayda ku farxaana Dib ha u noqdeen oo ha sharaf beeleen.

²Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

³Kuwa Ahaa, Ahaa, lahu, Ceebtooda dib ha ula noqdeen.

³Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.`

⁴Kuwa adiga ku doondoona oo dhammu ha reyreeyeen oo ha kugu farxeen, Oo kuwa badbaadintaada jeceluna had iyo goorba ha yidhaahdeen, Ilaah ha la weyneeyo.Laakiinse miskiin iyo mid baahan baan ahay, Ilaahow, ii soo dhaqso, Waxaad tahay caawimaaddayda iyo samatabbixiyahayga. Rabbiyow, ha iga raagin.

⁴Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.`

⁵Laakiinse miskiin iyo mid baahan baan ahay, Ilaahow, ii soo dhaqso, Waxaad tahay caawimaaddayda iyo samatabbixiyahayga. Rabbiyow, ha iga raagin.

⁵And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
