1 R abbiyow, ilaa goormaad i illoobaysaa? Ma weligaa baa? Oo ilaa goormaad wejigaaga iga qarinaysaa?

How long will You forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 I laa goormaan naftayda la tashanayaa, Anigoo maalinta oo dhan calool xun? Ilaa goormuu cadowgaygu iga sarraynayaa?

How long must I lay up cares within me and have sorrow in my heart day after day? How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

3 R abbiyow Ilaahayow, waxaas u fiirso, oo ii jawaab, Indhahayga iftiimi, yaanan hurdadii geerida seexanine,

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

4 W aaba intaasoo cadowgaygu yidhaahdaa, Anigu isagaan ka adkaaday, Oo ay cadaawayaashaydu farxaan markii lay dhaqaajiyo.

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him, and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.

5 L aakiinse anigu waxaan isku halleeyey naxariistaada, Oo qalbigayguna wuxuu ku rayrayn doonaa badbaadintaada.

But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.

6 R abbigaan u gabyi doonaa, Maxaa yeelay, wax badan oo wanaagsan buu ii sameeyey.

I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
