¹Rabbiyow, xaqa maqal, oo qayladayda u jeeso, Oo baryadayda dhegta u dhig, taasoo aan ka bixin bushimo khiyaano leh.

¹Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

²Xukunkaygu ha ka yimaado hortaada, Oo indhahaaguna caddaalad ha fiiriyeen.

²Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

³Qalbigayga waad tijaabisay, oo habeennimaad i soo booqatay, Waad i imtixaantay, oo wax shar ah igama aad helin, Waxaan u qasdiyey inaanu afkaygu xadgudbin.

³You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

⁴Shuqulladii dadkana waan ka hadhay, Oo erayada bushimahaaga ayaan kaga joogsaday jidadkii kuwa wax dulma oo dhan.

⁴As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

⁵Si aanay cagahaygu u simbiriirixan, Tallaabooyinkayga ku adkee waddooyinkaaga.

⁵My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

⁶Ilaahow, waan ku baryay, waayo, waad ii jawaabi doontaa, Bal dhegta ii dhig, oo hadalkayga maqal.

⁶I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

⁷Bal muuji raxmaddaada yaabka leh, Adigoo kuwa isku kaa halleeya gacantaada midig kaga badbaadiya Kuwa ku kaca iyaga.

⁷Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

⁸Ii dhawr sida isha inankeeda, Oo igu qari hooska baalashaada.

⁸Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

⁹Waxaad iga qarisaa kuwa sharka leh oo i kharriba, Kuwaas oo ah cadaawayaasha naftayda oo hareerahayga ku wareegsan.

⁹from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.

¹⁰Qalbigooday xidheen, Oo afkooduna wuxuu ku hadlaa waxyaalo kibir miidhan ah.

¹⁰They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

¹¹Oo haatan waxay cidhiidhiyeen tallaabooyinkayagii, Oo waxay noogu dhaygageen inay dhulka nagu tuuraan aawadeed.

¹¹They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

¹²Isagu waa sida aar libaax ugaadhsi damacsan, Iyo sida aaran libaax oo meelo qarsoon ku dhuunta.

¹²He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

¹³Rabbiyow, kac, Oo isaga ka hor tag, oo dhulka hoos ugu tuur, Oo naftaydana kan sharka leh seeftaada kaga samatabbixi,

¹³Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

¹⁴Rabbiyow, waxaad dadka igaga samatabbixisaa gacantaada, Kuwaas oo ah dadka dunida, oo qaybtoodu ku jirto nolosha adduunkan, Oo aad calooshooda ka buuxisaa khasnaddaada, Iyagu waxay ka dhergeen carruur, Oo maalkooda hadhayna waxay uga tagaan dhallaankooda.Laakiinse anigu xaqnimaan wejigaaga ku fiirin doonaa, Oo waa i deeqi doonaa markii aan ammaantaada arko, oo aan ekaantaada la soo tooso.

¹⁴from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

¹⁵Laakiinse anigu xaqnimaan wejigaaga ku fiirin doonaa, Oo waa i deeqi doonaa markii aan ammaantaada arko, oo aan ekaantaada la soo tooso.

¹⁵As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
