¹Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

¹Rabbiyow, ninka sharka leh iga samatabbixi, Oo iga ilaali ninka dulmiga badan,

²those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

²Kuwaasoo qalbigooda kaga fikira belaayooyin, Had iyo goorna dagaal bay isu soo urursadaan.

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

³Waxay carrabkoodii u afaysteen sidii abeeso oo kale, Oo bushimahoodana waxaa ku hoos jirta waabaydii jilbiska. (Selaah)

⁴Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

⁴Rabbiyow, gacmaha kuwa sharka leh iga dhawr, Oo iga ilaali ninka dulmiga badan, Kuwaasoo u qastiyey inay tallaabooyinkayga dhinac u leexiyaan.

⁵The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

⁵Kuwa kibirka badanu waxay ii qariyeen dabin iyo xadhko, Oo jidka dhinaciisana waxay ii gogleen shabag, oo siriq bay ii qooleen. (Selaah)

⁶I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

⁶Waxaan Rabbiga ku idhi, Waxaad tahay Ilaahayga, Haddaba, Rabbiyow, bal dhegta u dhig codka baryootankayga.

⁷Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

⁷Ilaahow Sayidow, xooggii badbaadadaydow, Maalintii dagaalka madaxaygaad dabooshay.

⁸Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

⁸Rabbiyow, kuwa sharka leh ha siin waxay doonayaan, Oo horay ha u sii wadin xeeladdooda sharka ah, waaba intaasoo ay kor isu qaadaane. (Selaah)

⁹As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

⁹Oo kuwa igu wareegsan madaxoodana Belaayada bushimahooda ka soo baxaysa ha daboosho.

¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

¹⁰Dhuxulo ololaya ha ku soo dul daateen, Oo iyaga ha lagu dhex tuuro dabka, Iyo godad aad u dhaadheer, si aanay mar dambe u soo sara kicin.

¹¹An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹¹Ninka sharka ku hadlaa yaanu dhulka ku sii waarin, Sharku wuxuu u ugaadhsan doonaa ninka dulmiga badan inuu afgembiyo aawadeed.

¹²I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

¹²Waan ogahay in Rabbigu kuwa dhibban dacwadooda u gar qaadi doono, Oo uu kuwa baahanna xaqooda siin doono.Hubaal kuwa xaqa ahu waxay ku mahad naqi doonaan magacaaga, Oo kuwa qummanuna waxay joogi doonaan hortaada.

¹³Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

¹³Hubaal kuwa xaqa ahu waxay ku mahad naqi doonaan magacaaga, Oo kuwa qummanuna waxay joogi doonaan hortaada.
