1 I laahow, waxaad tahay Ilaahay, oo anna goor hore ayaan ku doondooni doonaa, Naftaydu adigay kuu oomman tahay, jidhkayguna aduu kuu xiisoodaa, Anoo jooga dhul engegan oo daal miidhan ah oo aan biyo lahayn.

O God, You are my God. I will look for You with all my heart and strength. My soul is thirsty for You. My flesh is weak wanting You in a dry and tired land where there is no water.

2 S i aan u arko xooggaaga iyo ammaantaadaba aawadeed, Ayaan kaa fiiriyey meesha quduuska ah.

So I have seen You in the holy place. And I have seen Your power and Your shining-greatness.

3 W aayo, raxmaddaadu way ka sii wanaagsan tahay nolol, Haddaba bushimahaygu way ku ammaani doonaan.

My lips will praise You because Your loving-kindness is better than life.

4 S idaas daraaddeed waan kugu mahadnaqayaa intaan noolahay, Oo gacmahaygana kor baan ugu qaadi doonaa magacaaga aawadiis.

So I will give honor to You as long as I live. I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 N aftaydu waxay u dhergi doontaa sida mid dhuux iyo baruur uga dhergo, Oo afkayguna wuxuu kugu ammaani doonaa bushimo faraxsan

My soul will be filled as with rich foods. And my mouth praises You with lips of joy.

6 K olkaan sariirtayda kugu soo xusuusto Oo aan kaa fikiro habeenka markaan soo jeedo.

On my bed I remember You. I think of You through the hours of the night.

7 W aayo, waxaad ii ahayd caawimaad, Oo hooska baalashaada ayaan ku rayrayn doonaa.

For You have been my help. And I sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 N aftaydu adigay ku raacdaa, Oo gacantaada midigna way i tiirisaa. (Selaah)

My soul holds on to You. Your right hand holds me up.

9 L aakiinse kuwa naftayda u doondoonaya inay halligaan aawadeed, Waxay geli doonaan dhulka meelaha ugu hooseeya.

But those who want to take my life and destroy it will go deep into the earth.

10 W axaa iyaga loo gacangelin doonaa xoogga seefta, Oo waxay qayb u noqon doonaan dawacooyinka.

They will be given over to the power of the sword. They will become food for foxes.

11 L aakiinse boqorku wuxuu ku rayrayn doonaa Ilaah, Mid kasta oo isaga ku dhaartaa wuu faani doonaa, Waayo, kuwa beenta sheega afkooda waa la aamusiin doonaa.

But the king will be full of joy in God. All who are faithful to God will be full of joy. For the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped.
