1 R abbiyow, dadkaaga caawi, waayo, nin cibaado leh waa la waayayaa, Waayo, binu-aadmiga intii aaminka ahayd way ka dhammaadeen.

Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

2 M id walba deriskiisa wuxuu kula hadlaa been, Oo waxay ku hadlaan bushimo sasabasho miidhan ah iyo laba qalbi.

They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3 R abbigu wuxuu wada baabbi'in doonaa bushimaha sasabashada badan oo dhan, Iyo carrabka waxyaalaha waaweyn ku hadlaba.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things,

4 K uwaasu waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaan ku adkaan doonnaa carrabkayaga, Oo bushimahayagana annagaa iska leh. Haddaba bal yaa annaga sayid noo ah?

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is lord over us?”

5 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu haatan waxaan u kacayaa Masaakiinta la dhacayo, iyo kuwa baahan taahiddooda daraaddood, Oo kan ay fudaydsanayaanna waan ammaan gelinayaa.

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

6 R abbiga erayadiisu waa erayo daahir ah, Oo waa sida lacag foorno kulul oo dhulka ku taal lagu kala miiray, Oo toddoba jeer la safeeyey.

The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

7 R abbiyow, waad dhawri doontaa, Oo qarnigan ayaad iyaga ka xannaanayn doontaa weligood.

You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

8 M arkii nijaasta binu-aadmiga dhexdiisa lagu jecel yahay, Kuwa sharka lahu waxay ku socdaan dhinac kasta.

The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
