¹Surely God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

¹Hubaal Ilaah waa u roon yahay reer binu Israa'iil, Iyo xataa kuwa qalbigoodu daahirka yahay.

²But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

²Laakiinse anigu waan turunturoon gaadhay, Oo tallaabooyinkayguna waxay u dhowaadeen inay simbiriirixdaan.

³For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

³Waayo, waxaan ka hinaasay kuwa qabka weyn, Markaan arkay barwaaqada ay kuwa sharka lahu haystaan.

⁴For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

⁴Waayo, geeridoodu xanuun ma leh, Laakiinse xooggoodu waa adag yahay.

⁵They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

⁵Iyagu dhib kuma jiraan sida dadka kale, Oo sida dadka kalena uma belaayaysna.

⁶Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

⁶Sidaas daraaddeed kibir wuxuu yahay sida silsilad qoorta u sudhan, Oo dulmi bay sida maro u huwan yihiin.

⁷Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

⁷Indhahoodu baruur bay la bararsan yihiin, Oo waxay haystaan in ka sii badan waxa qalbigoodu doonayo.

⁸They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

⁸Wax bay ku qoslaan, oo xumaan daraaddeed dulmi bay ku hadlaan, Waxay hadlaan iyagoo kor isu qaadaya.

⁹They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

⁹Afkoodii waxay gaadhsiiyeen samooyinka, Oo carrabkooduna wuxuu dhex maraa dhulka oo dhan.

¹⁰Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.

¹⁰Sidaas daraaddeed dadkiisii halkanay ku soo noqdaan, Oo koob biyo ka buuxa ayay madhsadeen.

¹¹They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

¹¹Oo waxay yidhaahdaan, Ilaah sidee buu wax u yaqaan? Kan ugu sarreeyana aqoonu ma ku jirtaa?

¹²Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

¹²Bal eeg, kuwanu waa kuwa sharka leh, Oo mar kasta iyagoo istareexsan ayay hodantinimadoodu sii korodhaa.

¹³Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,

¹³Hubaal wax aan micne lahayn ayaan qalbigaygii ku nadiifshay, Oo aan ku faraxashay anigoo aan eed lahayn,

¹⁴For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.

¹⁴Waayo, maalintii oo dhan waa lay dhibayay, Oo subax kastana waa lay edbinayay.

¹⁵If I had said, “I will speak thus”; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

¹⁵Haddaan odhan lahaa, Sidaasaan ku hadli doonaa, Bal eeg, waan khiyaanayn lahaa farcanka carruurtaada.

¹⁶When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁶Markaan ku fikiray si aan tan ku ogaado, Aad bay iigu xanuun badnayd,

¹⁷Until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

¹⁷Ilaa aan galay meesha quduuska ah ee Ilaah, Oo aan ka fiirsaday ugudambaystooda.

¹⁸Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

¹⁸Hubaal waxaad iyaga ku taagtaa meelo sibiibix ah, Oo waxaad hoos ugu tuurtaa si ay u baabba'aan.

¹⁹How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

¹⁹Sidee bay daqiiqad ugu noqdeen meel cidla ah! Dhammaantood waxay ku baabba'een cabsi.

²⁰As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.

²⁰Sayidow, sidii mid riyo ka toosay Markaad toostid, waxaad quudhsan doontaa ekaantooda.

²¹For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

²¹Waayo, qalbigaygu wuu murugooday, Oo waxaa layga muday kelyaha,

²²I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

²²Waxaan ahaa doqon iyo jaahil, Oo hortaada waxaan ku ahaa sidii xoolo oo kale.

²³Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

²³Habase yeeshee had iyo goorba waan kula joogaa, Oo waxaad i qabatay gacanta midig.

²⁴You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

²⁴Waxaad igu hoggaamin doontaa taladaada, Oo dabadeedna waxaad igu dhowayn doontaa ammaanta.

²⁵Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.

²⁵Bal, yaan samada ku leeyahay adiga mooyaane? Oo dhulkana laguma arko mid aan kaa jeclahay.

²⁶My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

²⁶Jiidhkayga iyo qalbigayguba waa itaal darnaadeen, Laakiinse Ilaah wuxuu weligiis ii yahay xooggii qalbigayga iyo qaybtayda.

²⁷For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.

²⁷Waayo, bal eeg, kuwa kaa fogu way halligmi doonaan, Oo waad wada baabbi'isay kuwii kaa caasiyoobay oo dhan.Laakiinse aniga waxaa ii roon inaan Ilaah u soo dhowaado, Waayo, Sayidka Ilaahaa waxaan ka dhigtay magangalkayga, Inaan ka sheekeeyo shuqulladaada oo dhan.

²⁸But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

²⁸Laakiinse aniga waxaa ii roon inaan Ilaah u soo dhowaado, Waayo, Sayidka Ilaahaa waxaan ka dhigtay magangalkayga, Inaan ka sheekeeyo shuqulladaada oo dhan.
