1Anigoo cidhiidhi ku jira ayaan Rabbiga u qayshaday, Oo isna wuu ii jawaabay.
1{A Song of degrees.} In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.
2Rabbiyow, naftayda ka samatabbixi bushimo been sheega, Iyo carrab khiyaano badan.
2Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.
3Carrabka khiyaanada badanow, bal maxaa lagu siin doonaa? Oo maxaa kaloo laguu samayn doonaa?
3What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4Adoo ah sida ku xoog badan oo fallaadhihiisa afaysan, Kuwaas oo wata dhuxulo geed rotem la yidhaahdo.
4Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.
5Anaa hoogay, waayo, Mesheg baan qariib ku noqday, Oo waxaan dhex degay teendhooyinkii Qedaar!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.Waxaan ahay mid nabad jecel, Laakiinse kolkii aan hadlo, iyagu waa kuwa dagaal jecel.
6My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.
7Waxaan ahay mid nabad jecel, Laakiinse kolkii aan hadlo, iyagu waa kuwa dagaal jecel.
7I [am for] peace; but when I speak, *they* [are] for war.
