1 R abbiyow, xaqa maqal, oo qayladayda u jeeso, Oo baryadayda dhegta u dhig, taasoo aan ka bixin bushimo khiyaano leh.

Hear what is right, O Lord. Listen to my cry. Hear my prayer, for it does not come from lying lips.

2 X ukunkaygu ha ka yimaado hortaada, Oo indhahaaguna caddaalad ha fiiriyeen.

May You decide in my favor. May Your eyes see what is right.

3 Q albigayga waad tijaabisay, oo habeennimaad i soo booqatay, Waad i imtixaantay, oo wax shar ah igama aad helin, Waxaan u qasdiyey inaanu afkaygu xadgudbin.

You have tested my heart. You have visited me during the night. You have tested me and have found nothing wrong. I have decided that my mouth will not sin.

4 S huqulladii dadkana waan ka hadhay, Oo erayada bushimahaaga ayaan kaga joogsaday jidadkii kuwa wax dulma oo dhan.

As for the actions of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of those who want to hurt others.

5 S i aanay cagahaygu u simbiriirixan, Tallaabooyinkayga ku adkee waddooyinkaaga.

My steps have followed Your paths. My feet have not turned from them.

6 I laahow, waan ku baryay, waayo, waad ii jawaabi doontaa, Bal dhegta ii dhig, oo hadalkayga maqal.

I have called to You, O God, for You will answer me. Listen to me and hear my words.

7 B al muuji raxmaddaada yaabka leh, Adigoo kuwa isku kaa halleeya gacantaada midig kaga badbaadiya Kuwa ku kaca iyaga.

Show Your great loving-kindness. You save by Your right hand the people that come to You for help from those who hate them.

8 I i dhawr sida isha inankeeda, Oo igu qari hooska baalashaada.

Keep me safe as You would Your own eye. Hide me in the shadow of Your wings,

9 W axaad iga qarisaa kuwa sharka leh oo i kharriba, Kuwaas oo ah cadaawayaasha naftayda oo hareerahayga ku wareegsan.

from the sinful who fight against me, those who would kill me and are all around me.

10 Q albigooday xidheen, Oo afkooduna wuxuu ku hadlaa waxyaalo kibir miidhan ah.

They have closed their fat hearts to pity. And their mouths speak with pride.

11 O o haatan waxay cidhiidhiyeen tallaabooyinkayagii, Oo waxay noogu dhaygageen inay dhulka nagu tuuraan aawadeed.

They have followed our every step and are all around us. They are watching for a way to bring us down to the ground.

12 I sagu waa sida aar libaax ugaadhsi damacsan, Iyo sida aaran libaax oo meelo qarsoon ku dhuunta.

He is like a hungry lion, like a young lion hiding and waiting.

13 R abbiyow, kac, Oo isaga ka hor tag, oo dhulka hoos ugu tuur, Oo naftaydana kan sharka leh seeftaada kaga samatabbixi,

Rise up, O Lord. Stand against him. Bring him down. Save me from the sinful with Your sword.

14 R abbiyow, waxaad dadka igaga samatabbixisaa gacantaada, Kuwaas oo ah dadka dunida, oo qaybtoodu ku jirto nolosha adduunkan, Oo aad calooshooda ka buuxisaa khasnaddaada, Iyagu waxay ka dhergeen carruur, Oo maalkooda hadhayna waxay uga tagaan dhallaankooda.

O Lord, save me by Your hand from such men. Their riches are in this life. Their stomach is filled with what you have stored for them. Their children are filled. Let them leave some for their babies.

15 L aakiinse anigu xaqnimaan wejigaaga ku fiirin doonaa, Oo waa i deeqi doonaa markii aan ammaantaada arko, oo aan ekaantaada la soo tooso.

As for me, I will see Your face in what is right and good. I will be happy to see You when I awake.
