1 R abbiyow, Ilaahayow, adigaan isku kaa halleeyaa, Haddaba iga badbaadi kuwa i eryanaya oo dhan, oo iga samatabbixi,

`The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

2 W aaba intaasoo ay naftayda sida libaax oo kale u kala dildillaaciyaane, Oo ay i kala jeexjeexaan intii aanay jirin cid iga samatabbixisaa.

Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

3 R abbiyow, Ilaahayow, haddii aan waxan sameeyey, Haddii xumaanu gacmahayga ku jirto,

O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

4 H addii aan shar ugu abaalguday mid ila nabad ah, (Haah, oo waxaan samatabbixiyey kii sababla'aan cadowga iigu ahaa,)

If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

5 D e markaas cadowgu naftayda ha eryado, oo ha qabsado, Oo isagu ha igu tunto, Oo sharaftaydana ciidda ha ku rido. (Selaah)

An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

6 R abbiyow, cadhadaada la kac, Oo ku kac dhirifka cadaawayaashayda, Aniga daraadday u sara joogso, waayo, waxaad amartay xukun.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

7 O o dadyowga ururradoodu ha ku hareereeyeen, Oo adna iyaga xagga sare uga noqo.

And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

8 R abbigu dadyowga buu u garsooraa, Rabbiyow, ii xukun siday xaqnimadaydu tahay, iyo siday daacadnimadayda igu jirtaa tahay.

Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

9 K uwa sharka leh sharkoodu ha dhammaado, laakiinse xoogee kuwa xaqa ah, Waayo, Ilaaha xaqa ahu wuxuu imtixaamaa qalbiga iyo uurka.

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

10 G aashaankaygu wuxuu la jiraa Ilaaha Badbaadiya kuwa qalbigoodu qumman yahay.

My shield on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

11 I laah waa xaakin xaq ah, Oo waa Ilaah maalin kasta dhirifsan.

God a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

12 H addii aan laga noqon, isagu seeftiisuu afaysan doonaa, Qaansadiisana wuu xootay, oo wuu diyaarsaday.

If turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,

13 O o weliba wuxuu diyaarsaday alaabtii dhimashada, Oo fallaadhihiisana wuxuu ka dhigtaa kuwo ololaya.

Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

14 B al eega, ninku wuxuu la dhibtoodaa xumaan, Oo wuxuu wallacay belaayo, oo wuxuu dhalay been.

Lo, he travaileth iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

15 B ooraan buu sameeyey, oo uu qoday, Oo wuxuu ku dhacay bohoshii uu isagu sameeyey.

A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

16 B elaayadiisu waxay dib ugu noqonaysaa madaxiisa, Oo dulmigiisuna dhaladiisuu ku soo degayaa.

Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

17 R abbiga waan ugu mahadnaqayaa sida ay xaqnimadiisu tahay, Oo waxaan u ammaanayaa magaca Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ugu sarreeya.

I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
