1 A nigu Rabbigaan isku halleeyaa, Haddaba idinku sidee baad naftayda ugu tidhaahdaan, Sida shimbir oo kale buurtiinnii ku carara?

In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

2 W aayo, bal eega, kuwa sharka lahu waxay xoodaan qaansada, Fallaadhoodana waxay ku diyaariyaan xadhigga, Inay kan qalbiga ka qumman goor gudcur ah ku ganaan.

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

3 H addii aasaaska la dumiyo, Kan xaqa ahu bal muxuu samayn karaa?

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4 R abbigu wuxuu ku jiraa macbudkiisa quduuska ah, Rabbiga carshigiisu wuxuu yaal samada, Indhihiisu way eegaan, oo indhihiisa daboolkooduna way imtixaamaan binu-aadmiga.

The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5 R abbigu waa tijaabiyaa kii xaq ah, Laakiinse kii shar leh iyo kii dulmi jecelba naftiisu way neceb tahay.

The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

6 K uwa shar leh wuxuu ku soo kor daadin doonaa dabinno, Oo qaybta koobkooduna waxaa weeye dab iyo baaruud iyo dabayl hanfi ah.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

7 W aayo, Rabbigu waa xaq, oo isagu xaqnimaduu jecel yahay, Kuwa qummanuna wejigiisay arki doonaan.

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
