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

¹{A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day [and] in the night before thee.

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

²Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry.

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

³For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol.

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

⁴I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no 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.

⁵Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand.

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

⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.

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

⁷Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. Selah.

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

⁸Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

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

⁹Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

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

¹⁰Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? Selah.

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

¹¹Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?

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

¹²Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

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

¹³But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.

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

¹⁴Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou 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 my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, [and] I am distracted.

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

¹⁶Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:

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 all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.

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

¹⁸Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.
