1 I i naxariiso, Ilaahow, ii naxariiso, Waayo, naftaydu adigay ku magan gashaa, Haah, waxaan magangeli doonaa hooska baalashaada, Ilaa ay belaayooyinkanu gudbayaan.

Be merciful and gracious to me, O God, be merciful and gracious to me, for my soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in You; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed.

2 W axaan u qayshanayaa Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, Oo ah Ilaaha wax kasta ii sameeya.

I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me!

3 I sagu samaduu caawimaad ka soo diri doonaa, wuuna i badbaadin doonaa, Markuu kan i liqi lahaa i caayo, (Selaah) Ilaah wuxuu soo diri doonaa naxariistiisa iyo runtiisa.

He will send from heaven and save me from the slanders and reproaches of him who would trample me down or swallow me up, and He will put him to shame. Selah! God will send forth His mercy and loving-kindness and His truth and faithfulness.

4 N aftaydu waxay ku dhex jirtaa libaaxyo, Oo anigu waxaan dhex jiifaa kuwo dab lagu shiday, Kuwaasoo ah binu-aadmiga oo ilkahoodu yihiin warmo iyo fallaadho, Oo carrabkooduna yahay seef af badan.

My life is among lions; I must lie among those who are aflame—the sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords.

5 I laahow, samooyinka ka sara mar, Oo ammaantaaduna dhulka oo dhan ha ka sarrayso.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let Your glory be over all the earth!

6 D abin bay cagahayga u diyaariyeen, Oo naftaydii baa foororsatay, Oo waxay hortayda ka qodeen god, Oo iyaga qudhoodii baa ku dhex dhacay. (Selaah)

They set a net for my steps; my very life was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way; into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah!

7 Q albigaa ii fadhiya, Ilaahow, qalbigaa ii fadhiya, Haddaba waan gabyi doonaa, haah, ammaan baan ku gabyi doonaa.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing and make melody.

8 N aftaydoy, toos, shareerad iyo kataaradoy, toosa, Aniga qudhayduna waxaan toosi doonaa aroor hore.

Awake, my glory (my inner self); awake, harp and lyre! I will awake right early!

9 S ayidow, dadyowga dhexdooda ayaan kaaga mahadnaqi doonaa, Oo quruumaha dhexdooda ayaan ammaan kuugu gabyi doonaa.

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.

10 W aayo, naxariistaadu waa weyn tahay oo waxay gaadhaa samooyinka, Oo runtaaduna waxay gaadhaa daruuraha.

For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great, reaching to the heavens, and Your truth and faithfulness to the clouds.

11 I laahow, samooyinka ka sara mar, Oo ammaantaaduna dhulka oo dhan ha ka sarrayso.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth.
