1 I laahow, codkayga maqal markii aan kuu soo cawdo, Oo naftayda ka ilaali cadowga cabsidiisa.

¶ Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 O o iga qari talada qarsoon oo kuwa sharka ka shaqeeya, Iyo tirabadnaanta xumaanfalayaasha,

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 O o carrabkooda u afeeyey sidii seef oo kale, Oo fallaadhahoodii liishaamay kuwaas oo ah erayo qadhaadh,

Who whet their tongue like a sword and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words

4 S i ay meelo qarsoon kan qumman fallaadh ugaga ganaan, Haddiiba si kedis ah ayay ugu ganaan, mana cabsadaan.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect; suddenly do they shoot at him and fear not.

5 Q asdi shar ah bay isku dhiirrigeliyaan, Waxay ku arrinsadaan inay si qarsoon dabinno u dhigaan, Oo ay isyidhaahdaan, Bal yaa arki doona?

They encourage themselves in an evil matter; they attempt to hide the snares; they say, Who shall see them?

6 W axay baadhaan xumaatooyin, iyagoo leh, Annagu baadhid caqli ah ayaannu ebinnay, Fikirka ku jira uurka nin walba iyo qalbiguba waa mool dheer yihiin.

They search out iniquities; they perfect and put into effect that which they have invented in the inward thought of each one of them and that which they have devised in their heart.

7 L aakiinse Ilaah waa toogan doonaa, Oo haddiiba iyaga waxaa dhaawici doonta fallaadh.

¶ But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 S idaas daraaddeed waa la kufin doonaa, iyagoo carrabkoodu col u yahay naftooda, Wax alla wixii iyaga arka oo dhammu way carari doonaan.

So they shall make their own council and agreements to fall upon themselves; all that see them shall flee away.

9 O o dadka oo dhammu way cabsan doonaan, Oo waxay sheegi doonaan shuqulka Ilaah, Oo si caqli ah ayay uga fikiri doonaan wuxuu sameeyey.

And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God, for they shall understand his doing.

10 K uwa xaqa ahu waxay ku farxi doonaan Rabbiga, oo isagay isku hallayn doonaan, Oo inta qalbigoodu toosan yahay oo dhammuna way faani doonaan.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD and shall become secure in him, and all the upright in heart shall glory in him.
