¹Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

¹Rabbiyow, la dirir kuwa ila dirira, Oo la dagaallan kuwa ila dagaallama.

²Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.

²Gaashaan iyo gabbaad qaado. Oo caawimaaddayda daraaddeed u istaag.

³Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”

³Waran la soo bax, oo kuwa i eryanaya jidka ka goo, Oo naftayda waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Anigu waxaan ahay badbaadadaada.

⁴Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

⁴Kuwa naftayda doondoonayaa ha ceeboobeen, oo sharafdarro ha ku soo degto, Oo kuwa waxyeelladayda u arrinsanayana dib ha loo celiyo, oo ha wareereen.

⁵Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on.

⁵Ha noqdeen sida buunshe dabaysha hor socda, Oo malaa'igta Rabbigu horay u sii kaxaynayso.

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.

⁶Jidkoodu ha noqdo gudcur iyo meel simbiriirixo leh, Oo malaa'igta Rabbigu ha eryato.

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

⁷Waayo, iyagu sababla'aan bay dabin god iigu qarsheen, Oo sababla'aan bay naftayda god ugu qodeen.

⁸Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

⁸Isagoo aan iska jirin halligaadu ha ku soo degto, Oo dabinkiisuu qariyey isaga ha qabsado, Oo isagu halligaaddaas ha ku dhaco.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh. It shall rejoice in his salvation.

⁹Oo naftayduna Rabbigay aad ugu farxi doontaa, Oo waxay ku rayrayn doontaa badbaadintiisa.

¹⁰All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

¹⁰Lafahayga oo dhammu waxay odhan doonaan, Rabbiyow, bal yaa kula mid ah? Kaaga kii miskiin ah ka samatabbixiya kii isaga ka xoog badan, Haah, oo kii miskiin ah iyo kan baahanba ka samatabbixiya kii dhaca.

¹¹Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.

¹¹Waxaa kaca markhaatiyaal xaqdarro ah, Oo waxay i weyddiiyaan waxyaalo aanan ogayn.

¹²They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.

¹²Wanaag xumaan bay iigaga abaalgudaan Oo naftayda way gacal tiraan.

¹³But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.

¹³Laakiinse markay bukeen, dharkaygu wuxuu ahaa joonyado, Oo naftaydana soon baan ku dhibay, Oo tukashadayduna laabtayday ku soo noqotay.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

¹⁴Anigu waxaan u qaatay sidii isagoo ah saaxiibkay ama walaalkay, Oo waxaan la foororsaday baroorasho sida mid hooyadiis u baroorta.

¹⁵But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.

¹⁵Laakiinse anigu markaan turunturooday ayay reyreeyeen, oo way isa soo wada urursadeen, Oo waxmatarayaashii ayaa dhammaantood ii wada shiray, oo anna ma aan ogayn innaba, Way i dildillaacsadeen oo imana ay dayn.

¹⁶Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

¹⁶Sida labawejiilayaashu diyaafado uga dhex majaajiloodaan Ayay igu ilko jirriqsadeen.

¹⁷Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

¹⁷Sayidow, ilaa goormaad sii fiirinaysaa? Naftayda halligaaddooda ka badbaadi, Noloshaydana libaaxyada ka badbaadi.

¹⁸I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

¹⁸Waxaan kaaga mahad naqi doonaa shirka weyn dhexdiisa, Oo dad fara badan dhexdooda ayaan kugu ammaani doonaa.

¹⁹Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

¹⁹Kuwa sida qaladka ah cadowga iigu ahi, yaanay igu rayrayn, Oo kuwa sababla'aanta ii necebuna yaanay isu il jebin.

²⁰For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

²⁰Waayo, iyagu nabad kuma hadlaan, Laakiinse waxay hadallo khiyaano miidhan ah ugu hindisaan kuwa dalka ku xasilloon.

²¹Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

²¹Afkoodii aad bay iigu fureen, Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ahaa, ahaa, annagaa indhahayaga ku aragnay.

²²You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

²²Rabbiyow, adigu waad aragtay, haddaba ha iska aamusin, Sayidow, ha iga fogaan.

²³Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!

²³Sara joogso, oo garsooriddayda u toos, Oo dacwadayda dhegayso, Ilaahayow, Sayidkayow.

²⁴Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

²⁴Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, igu xukun sida ay xaqnimadaadu tahay, Oo yaanay igu rayrayn.

²⁵Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

²⁵Yaanay qalbigooda iska odhan, Ahaa, sidaasaannu doonaynaa, Yaanay odhan, Isagii waannu liqnay.

²⁶Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

²⁶Kuwa waxyeelladayda ku reyreeyaa ha wada ceeboobeen oo ha isku wareereen dhammaantood, Oo iyagu ha huwadeen ceeb iyo sharafdarro kuwa iska kay weynaysiiyaa.

²⁷Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yes, let them say continually, “Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

²⁷Kuwa xaqnimadayda jecelu farxad ha ku dhawaaqeen, oo ha farxeen, Oo had iyo goorba ha yidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ha la weyneeyo, Waayo, isagu wuxuu ku farxaa barwaaqada addoonkiisa.Oo maalinta oo dhan carrabkaygu wuxuu ka hadli doonaa Xaqnimadaada iyo ammaantaadaba.

²⁸Oo maalinta oo dhan carrabkaygu wuxuu ka hadli doonaa Xaqnimadaada iyo ammaantaadaba.
