1 A nswer me when I call, O God of my righteousness (uprightness, justice, and right standing with You)! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.

Ilaaha xaqnimadaydow, markii aan ku baryo i maqal, Markii aan cidhiidhi ku jirayba meel baad ii bannaysay, Ii naxariiso oo baryadayda maqal.

2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my honor and glory into shame? How long will you love vanity and futility and seek after lies? Selah!

Binu-aadmigow, ilaa goormaa sharaftaydu sharafjab u rogmanaysaa? Ilaa goormaad wax aan micne lahayn jeclaanaysaan? Oo ilaa goormaad been doondoonaysaan? (Selaah)

3 B ut know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly. The Lord listens and heeds when I call to Him.

Laakiinse ogaada in Rabbigu gooni ahaan isugu soocay kii cibaado leh, Rabbigu wuu maqli doonaa markii aan u yeedho isaga.

4 B e angry and sin not; commune with your own hearts upon your beds and be silent (sorry for the things you say in your hearts). Selah!

Cadhooda oo ha dembaabina, Qalbigiinna la hadla markii aad sariirtiinna ku jiiftaan, oo aamusa. (Selaah)

5 O ffer just and right sacrifices; trust (lean on and be confident) in the Lord.

Bixiya allabaryadii xaqnimada, Oo Rabbiga isku halleeya.

6 M any say, Oh, that we might see some good! Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.

Waxaa jira kuwo badan oo yidhaahda, Bal yaa wanaag na tusaya? Rabbiyow, iftiinka wejigaaga nagu ifi.

7 Y ou have put more joy and rejoicing in my heart than when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

Waxaad qalbigayga gelisay farxad Ka sii badan tan ay helaan markii hadhuudhkooda iyo khamrigoodu ay kordhaan.

8 I n peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

Nabad baan ku jiifsanayaa oo aan ku seexanayaa, Waayo, Rabbiyow, adigoo keliya ayaa ammaan igu bariiya.
