¹How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

¹Rabbiyow, ilaa goormaad i illoobaysaa? Ma weligaa baa? Oo ilaa goormaad wejigaaga iga qarinaysaa?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

²Ilaa goormaan naftayda la tashanayaa, Anigoo maalinta oo dhan calool xun? Ilaa goormuu cadowgaygu iga sarraynayaa?

³Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

³Rabbiyow Ilaahayow, waxaas u fiirso, oo ii jawaab, Indhahayga iftiimi, yaanan hurdadii geerida seexanine,

⁴Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁴Waaba intaasoo cadowgaygu yidhaahdaa, Anigu isagaan ka adkaaday, Oo ay cadaawayaashaydu farxaan markii lay dhaqaajiyo.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁵Laakiinse anigu waxaan isku halleeyey naxariistaada, Oo qalbigayguna wuxuu ku rayrayn doonaa badbaadintaada.Rabbigaan u gabyi doonaa, Maxaa yeelay, wax badan oo wanaagsan buu ii sameeyey.

⁶I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

⁶Rabbigaan u gabyi doonaa, Maxaa yeelay, wax badan oo wanaagsan buu ii sameeyey.
