¹Rabbigu waa nuurkayga iyo badbaadadayda, bal yaan ka cabsadaa? Oo Rabbigu waa xoogga noloshayda, bal yaan ka baqaa?

¹{[A Psalm] of David.} Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

²Markii xumaanfalayaashu iigu yimaadeen inay hilibkayga cunaan, Kuwaasoo ah cadaawayaashayda iyo colkayga, way turunturoodeen, wayna dheceen.

²When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

³In kastoo ciidan col ah i ag dego, Qalbigaygu cabsan maayo, In kastoo dagaal igu soo kaco, Xataa markaas waan kalsoonaanayaa.

³If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.

⁴Wax keliya ayaan Rabbiga ka baryay, oo taas aad baan u doonayaa, Waana inaan cimrigayga oo dhan dhex degganaado guriga Rabbiga, Oo aan fiiriyo Rabbiga quruxdiisa, oo aan wax ku baryo macbudkiisa.

⁴One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.

⁵Waayo, isagu maalinta dhibta wuxuu igu qarin doonaa teendhadiisa, Oo meesha qarsoon oo taambuuggiisa ayuu igu xasayn doonaa, Kor buu ii qaadi doonaa oo dhagax weyn buu i saari doonaa.

⁵For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

⁶Imminka waxaa madaxayga laga sarraysiin doonaa cadaawayaashayda igu wareegsan, Oo waxaan taambuugga Rabbiga ku dhex bixin doonaa allabari dhawaaq farxadeed leh, Waan gabyi doonaa, haah, ammaan baan Rabbiga ugu gabyi doonaa.

⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

⁷Rabbiyow, markaan codkayga ku qayliyo, i maqal, Weliba ii naxariiso, oo ii jawaab.

⁷Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.

⁸Markaad tidhi, Wejigayga doondoona, ayaa qalbigaygu wuxuu kugu yidhi, Rabbiyow, wejigaaga waan doondoonayaa.

⁸My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

⁹Ilaaha badbaadadaydow, wejigaaga ha iga qarin, Anoo addoonkaaga ah cadho ha igu eryin, Caawimaad baad ii ahayde, Ha i xoorin, hana i dayrin.

⁹Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

¹⁰Waayo, aabbahay iyo hooyaday way i dayriyeen, Laakiinse Rabbigaa i qaadan doona.

¹⁰For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.

¹¹Rabbiyow, cadaawayaashayda daraaddood Jidkaaga i bar, Oo igu hoggaami waddo bannaan.

¹¹Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

¹²Oo gacanta ha ii gelin cadaawayaashayda, Waayo, waxaa igu kacay markhaatiyaal been ah iyo kuwa nacweynaanta ku hadla.

¹²Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

¹³Waan itaal darnaan lahaa haddaanan rumaysnayn Inaan wanaagga Rabbiga ku arkayo dalka kuwa nool.Rabbiga sug, Adkayso, oo qalbigaagu ha dhiirranaado, Haah, Rabbiga sug.

¹³Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!

¹⁴Rabbiga sug, Adkayso, oo qalbigaagu ha dhiirranaado, Haah, Rabbiga sug.

¹⁴Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
