1 W axaa barakaysan kii xadgudubkiisa la cafiyey, oo dembigiisa la daboolay.

By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

2 W axaa barakaysan ninkii aanu Rabbigu dembi ku tirin, Oo ruuxiisa aanay khiyaano ku jirin.

O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 M arkii aan iska aamusay, lafahaygii way gaboobeen, Maxaa yeelay, maalintii oo dhan baan cabaadayay.

When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

4 W aayo, habeen iyo maalinba gacantaadu way igu cuslayd, Oo qoyaankaygii wuxuu u beddelmay sidii engegga diraacda. (Selaah)

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

5 D embigaygii adigaan kuu qirtay, oo xumaantaydiina ma aan qarin, Waxaan idhi, Xadgudubkayga waxaan u qiranayaa Rabbiga, Oo adna waad iga cafiday xumaanta dembigayga. (Selaah)

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6 T aas daraaddeed mid kastoo cibaado lahu ha ku soo baryo wakhti lagu heli karo, Hubaal markii biyaha badanu dhulka qarqiyaan, isaga sooma ay gaadhi doonaan.

For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.

7 W axaad tahay meeshaan ku dhuunto, oo dhib baad iga ilaalin doontaa, Oo waxaad igu wareejin doontaa gabayadii samatabbixinta. (Selaah)

Thou a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.

8 W aan ku hanuunin doonaa oo waxaan ku bari doonaa jidka aad ku socon lahayd, Oo waxaan kula talin doonaa iyadoo ay ishaydu kula jirto.

I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.

9 H a noqonina sida faraska ama baqalka aan garaadka lahayn, Kuwaasoo hoggaankoodu yahay xakame iyo birtiisa in lagu hayo, Haddii kalese innaba kuu soo dhowaan maayaan.

Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

10 K ii shar leh waxaa ku dhici doona waxyaalo badan oo murug leh, Laakiinse kii Rabbiga isku halleeya waxaa ku wareegsanaan doona naxariis.

Many the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.

11 K uwiinna xaqa ahow, Rabbiga ku farxa oo reyreeya, Oo inta qalbigoodu qumman yahayow, kulligiin farxad la dhawaaqa.

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
