¹Rabbiyow, Ilaaha badbaadadaydow, Habeen iyo maalinba hortaadaan ka qayliyey,

¹A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.` — An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,

²Baryootankaygu hortaada ha yimaado, Oo qayladayda dhegta u dhig,

²My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,

³Waayo, naftayda waxaa ka buuxa dhibaatooyin, Oo noloshayduna waxay ku dhowaanaysaa She'ool.

³For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.

⁴Waxaa laygu tiiriyey kuwa hoos ugu dhaadhaca yaamayska, Oo waxaan ahay sida nin aan xoog lahayn,

⁴I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.

⁵Oo meydadka lagu dhex tuuray, Sida kuwa la laayay oo xabaalaha yaal, Oo aanad mar dambe soo xusuusnayn, Kuwaas oo ah kuwa gacantaada ka go'ay.

⁵Among the dead — free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

⁶Waxaad igu ridday yaamayska ugu hooseeya, Iyo gudcurka, iyo meelaha dhaadheer.

⁶Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.

⁷Cadhadaadii baa igu soo degtay, Oo waxaad igu dhibtay hirarkaagii oo dhan. (Selaah)

⁷Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.

⁸Kuwii aan iqiin waad iga fogaysay, Oo karaahiyaad iga dhigtay xaggooda. Waa lay xidhay, oo sooma aan bixi karo.

⁸Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up — I go not forth.

⁹Indhahaygu waxay la gudheen dhibaatada daraaddeed, Rabbiyow, maalin kasta waan kuu yeedhay, Oo gacmahaygana adigaan kuu hoorsaday.

⁹Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

¹⁰Ma yaabab baad tusaysaa meydadka? Kuwii dhintay miyey soo sara kacayaan oo ku ammaanayaan? (Selaah)

¹⁰To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.

¹¹Raxmaddaada miyaa qabriga lagu sheegayaa? Aaminnimadaadana miyaa halligaadda laga dhex sheegayaa?

¹¹Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹²Yaababkaaga miyaa gudcurka lagu ogaanayaa? Xaqnimadaadana ma waxaa lagu ogaanayaa dalka illoobidda?

¹²Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³Laakiinse Rabbiyow, adigaan kuu qayshaday, Oo baryootankayguna subaxduu hortaada imanayaa.

¹³And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.

¹⁴Rabbiyow, bal maxaad naftayda u xooraysaa? Oo bal maxaad wejigaaga iiga qarinaysaa?

¹⁴Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.

¹⁵Waan dhibaataysnaa oo waxaan ku dhowaa inaan dhinto tan iyo yaraantaydiiba, Intaad cabsidaada igu riddayna waan caataysnaa.

¹⁵I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors — I pine away.

¹⁶Cadhadaadii kululayd ayaa i kor martay, Oo waxaa i baabbi'iyey waxyaalihii aad igu cabsiisay.

¹⁶Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,

¹⁷Maalintii oo dhan waxay hareerahayga ugu wareegsanaayeen sidii biyo oo kale, Dhammaantood way i wada hareereeyeen.Kii i jeclaa iyo saaxiibkayba waad iga fogaysay, Oo kuwii aan iqiinna gudcur baad iga gelisay.

¹⁷They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,

¹⁸Kii i jeclaa iyo saaxiibkayba waad iga fogaysay, Oo kuwii aan iqiinna gudcur baad iga gelisay.

¹⁸Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
