1 R abbigu waa nuurkayga iyo badbaadadayda, bal yaan ka cabsadaa? Oo Rabbigu waa xoogga noloshayda, bal yaan ka baqaa?

The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?

2 M arkii xumaanfalayaashu iigu yimaadeen inay hilibkayga cunaan, Kuwaasoo ah cadaawayaashayda iyo colkayga, way turunturoodeen, wayna dheceen.

When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 I n kastoo ciidan col ah i ag dego, Qalbigaygu cabsan maayo, In kastoo dagaal igu soo kaco, Xataa markaas waan kalsoonaanayaa.

Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 W ax keliya ayaan Rabbiga ka baryay, oo taas aad baan u doonayaa, Waana inaan cimrigayga oo dhan dhex degganaado guriga Rabbiga, Oo aan fiiriyo Rabbiga quruxdiisa, oo aan wax ku baryo macbudkiisa.

One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.

5 W aayo, isagu maalinta dhibta wuxuu igu qarin doonaa teendhadiisa, Oo meesha qarsoon oo taambuuggiisa ayuu igu xasayn doonaa, Kor buu ii qaadi doonaa oo dhagax weyn buu i saari doonaa.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.

6 I mminka waxaa madaxayga laga sarraysiin doonaa cadaawayaashayda igu wareegsan, Oo waxaan taambuugga Rabbiga ku dhex bixin doonaa allabari dhawaaq farxadeed leh, Waan gabyi doonaa, haah, ammaan baan Rabbiga ugu gabyi doonaa.

And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 R abbiyow, markaan codkayga ku qayliyo, i maqal, Weliba ii naxariiso, oo ii jawaab.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!

8 M arkaad tidhi, Wejigayga doondoona, ayaa qalbigaygu wuxuu kugu yidhi, Rabbiyow, wejigaaga waan doondoonayaa.

You have said, Seek My face. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require.

9 I laaha badbaadadaydow, wejigaaga ha iga qarin, Anoo addoonkaaga ah cadho ha igu eryin, Caawimaad baad ii ahayde, Ha i xoorin, hana i dayrin.

Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!

10 W aayo, aabbahay iyo hooyaday way i dayriyeen, Laakiinse Rabbigaa i qaadan doona.

Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up.

11 R abbiyow, cadaawayaashayda daraaddood Jidkaaga i bar, Oo igu hoggaami waddo bannaan.

Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies.

12 O o gacanta ha ii gelin cadaawayaashayda, Waayo, waxaa igu kacay markhaatiyaal been ah iyo kuwa nacweynaanta ku hadla.

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.

13 W aan itaal darnaan lahaa haddaanan rumaysnayn Inaan wanaagga Rabbiga ku arkayo dalka kuwa nool.

had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!

14 R abbiga sug, Adkayso, oo qalbigaagu ha dhiirranaado, Haah, Rabbiga sug.

Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
