1 I laaha xaqnimadaydow, markii aan ku baryo i maqal, Markii aan cidhiidhi ku jirayba meel baad ii bannaysay, Ii naxariiso oo baryadayda maqal.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 B inu-aadmigow, ilaa goormaa sharaftaydu sharafjab u rogmanaysaa? Ilaa goormaad wax aan micne lahayn jeclaanaysaan? Oo ilaa goormaad been doondoonaysaan? (Selaah)

You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

3 L aakiinse ogaada in Rabbigu gooni ahaan isugu soocay kii cibaado leh, Rabbigu wuu maqli doonaa markii aan u yeedho isaga.

But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

4 C adhooda oo ha dembaabina, Qalbigiinna la hadla markii aad sariirtiinna ku jiiftaan, oo aamusa. (Selaah)

Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 B ixiya allabaryadii xaqnimada, Oo Rabbiga isku halleeya.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

6 W axaa jira kuwo badan oo yidhaahda, Bal yaa wanaag na tusaya? Rabbiyow, iftiinka wejigaaga nagu ifi.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

7 W axaad qalbigayga gelisay farxad Ka sii badan tan ay helaan markii hadhuudhkooda iyo khamrigoodu ay kordhaan.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 N abad baan ku jiifsanayaa oo aan ku seexanayaa, Waayo, Rabbiyow, adigoo keliya ayaa ammaan igu bariiya.

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.
