1 N inka xoogga badanow, bal maxaad xumaanta ugu faanaysaa? Naxariista Ilaah had iyo goorba way sii waartaa.

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

2 C arrabkaagu wuxuu hindisaa xumaato weyn, Oo sida mandiil afaysan ayuu ka shaqeeyaa khiyaano.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 W anaagga waxaad ka jeceshahay xumaanta, Oo inaad xaqnimo ku hadashidna waxaad ka jeceshahay beensheegidda. (Selaah)

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

4 W axaad jeceshahay erayada wax baabbi'iya oo dhan, Iyo carrab khiyaano miidhan ah.

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

5 I laahna sidaas oo kaluu kuu halligi doonaa weligaaba, Oo isna kor buu kuu qaadi doonaa, oo wuxuu kaa bixin doonaa teendhadaada, Oo wuxuu kaa saari doonaa kuwa nool dalkooda. (Selaah)

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 K uwa xaqa ahuna way arki doonaan, oo way cabsan doonaan, Wayna ku qosli doonaan, oo waxay odhan doonaan,

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

7 W aa kan ninkii aan Ilaah xooggiisa ka dhiganu, Laakiinse wuxuu isku halleeyey hodantinimadiisa badan, Oo wuxuu ku xoogaystay xumaatadiisii.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

8 L aakiinse anigu waxaan la mid ahay sida geed qoyan oo saytuun ah, oo guriga Ilaah ku dhex yaal, Anigu weligay iyo weligayba waxaan isku hallaynayaa naxariista Ilaah.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

9 W eligayba waan kugu mahadnaqayaa, maxaa yeelay, adigu waad samaysay, Oo magacaaga ayaan wax ku rajaynayaa, waayo, wuu ku wanaagsan yahay quduusiintaada hortooda.

I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
